In Astronomy and film W&B photography those color filters are used to change the color rendition, increasing contrast on certain features (Jupiter bands, mars ice caps, sky contrast, etc) depending of their colors. Try placing a specimen with distinct color features and use different filters to see if they pop-up with certain filtered light. Also, I discovered this channel yesterday and love it!

I had just ordered the AMScope for kids (25.22) and found this site. After watching this video I bought this scope for 40.95 on ebay (24.50+16.45 shipping). There is NO comparison between the two. The AMScope is about 1/3 the size of the TELMU. With 3 boys plus myself both will get a lot of use in the years to come. You will have no buyers remorse with this entry level microscope. Watch the review several times and you will see what you get. It is worth the 80 or 90 dollars for this scope (even though I paid less) if you work at it you may even get it cheaper . Just noticed the Amazon link above has it listed for $79.99 .Can't wait for more videos with this microscope. Thanks for a great video!

@A O ANY LITHIUM CELL runs at 3V-4.3V. They are SOLD AS 3.6V. White/blue leds directly on battery can run fine (3-4V) without any resistor. That is why they simply put 3xAA battery slots (1.5x3=4.5V ) and they just put variable resistor so you can dim it. Note that if you actually use rechargable batteries such as ni-mh it is actually 1.2x3 or 1.3x3 =3.6 or 3.9V again. Even a phone battery would work. More importantly you will need charge controller for li-ion batteries something like this would work ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1LKUYniMnBKNjSZFCq6x0KFXaP/1PCS-Micro-USB-5V-1A-18650-Lithium-Battery-Charger-Module-Charging-Board-With-Protection.jpg or simply ad a SM connector and use such adapter i.ebayimg.com/images/g/gnkAAOSwolpb3Cu1/s-l640.jpg that's all.

I quickly found my self needing more to use it properly. Main thing is a mechanical stage which i found 'Amscope MS90' for 24$ on amazon fits the stage. After installing i was able to view slides properly but started to see the eye strain issue even more along with the need for a stable base and comfortable viewing position. Now i need to find a decent microscope camera so i can view on a computer screen to fix both those issues

I got an $80 AMScope M150 basically the same design, lots of the cheaper 'scopes seem to share parts and manufacturers regardless of whos name is screened on it. Other than the absolutely filthy optics its a damn solid scope. I do fabrication and machining for a living so it wasn't too big of a deal to take apart the objectives and give the bits a bath. If you're similarly handy, they're pretty fun to tinker with. Get everything into alignment, adapt an old webcam or mount a (d)SLR to it. Itll pull decent images with very little fiddling. The objective turret is a little off lens to lens, but at $80 im not mad about it. These cheap 'real' microscopes are great for people who are interested in microscopy. Plenty of interesting things can be resolved for a general passing interest in the tiny world. If you're debating on getting a cheap scope, just do it. You won't be disappointed. My only advice I have is spend the extra few bucks and get one with a binocular head. Youll want to stare into the tube for a long time looking at all the interesting things, and that will make it far more comfortable.

I bought this microscope after watching this review and I am very pleased. I got it to explore the world with my 4 year old. Thank you. You did mention that the box warned that children should not use the device because of "sharp edges," and you couldn't find any sharp edges. It is true that the microscope has smooth, rounded edges BUT mine came with prepared slides that were wickedly sharp. The slides had bug legs and onion skins, etc... on glass that was sharp as razors. I put them away and ordered additional slides that were much safer. Just thought I would mention that. I love your videos. Thanks again.

Hello, It might disappoint you, but at college we did not use the microscope much at the beginning. Later on it was different. The reason is that microbiology often is taught very similar to molecular biology. So there was much chemistry and DNA-related things. But I guess it depends much on the actual syllabus and on the college. It is like this that there is a lot of money spent in the biosciences on molecular biology, because this area can be useful for developing new drugs. Microscpes are therefore often not a main method to be used in these cases. But I would check the actual college in which direction they go. Maybe some colleges have a more traditional (classical) approach to microbiology, where culturing of microorganisms and their identification plays a stronger role than the more molecular/chemical apporaches of other colleges. I know a guy who studied Zoology and then did his thesis research on foraminifera and he used microscopes all the time. So micoscopy is not only limited to microbiology and it depends very much on the individual research topic that you will be working later on. If you will end up using microscopes later in your research life, depends very, very much on the actual research project that you are working on. When microscopes are used in research, they often use fluorescent microscopes where they do antibody labelling of cell parts. The antibodies bind to different parts of the cell and then these parts light up under the microscope, because the microscope uses UV light. Now this is pretty advanced stuff, where they use special microscopes, and in beginning microbio studies they won’t let (large number of) students work with these. So you got to be patient until you actually start to participate in real research. So don’t be put off if they won’t let you work with microscopes right at the beginning, but then again there are so many new and exciting new methods besides microscopy in research, that you won’t feel bored. I guess what you are interested in is not only microscopy but “visualization” or “imaging” in general. Microscopes are also used in material sciences and even in non-biology areas like geology, so keep looking. About my job: I am a teacher now. And it’s funny - I use the microscope now more often then before.Greets, Oliver

I now have a microscope - bought second hand off ebay. It a monocular compound microscope that cost £80. It is badged as a VWR VisiScope microscope ML 103, but does not quite match the listed specification in that it has a mechanical stage and a condenser which do not appear standard for that model. There are some other differences that make me think that the one I have is an older version that has been upgraded.
@Microbehunter
5 жыл бұрын
Better microscopes are generally very modular so that they can be adapted to specific needs. If you visit the website of VWR, then you can see that they offer a variety of "different" scopes, which are different just by the features that they have attached. It is common to take one microscope base and then mount the features (mechanical stage, condenser etc) as needed. It is also possible to exchange the objectives etc. The student versions might not include condenser and mechanical stage, but the ones sold for research might have them connected etc.

I have a nursing student internships in a hospital and saw that most of the door handles seems to be made out of some sort of Copper alloys and it made me think. I know that copper is toxic to micro organism but don't really understand the principle on how it kills them. Is it the copper structure that break the shell of the cell or it's something else. There's few videos that show bacteria on copper plates under fluorescent light but it doesn't allow us to see what really happened. Could be interesting under the microscope :)

Copper oxidizes with moisture so when the copper pulls electrons in, it also takes electrons from the cell wall of the bacteria, weakening the membrane and eventually causes it to lyse. Bacteria try to adapt to this by taking in its surroundings, but by taking in copper ions, it's poisoning itself as it is toxic to the microbe. It halts production of energy and disrupts DNA replication.

@@ArchangelExile I'm a chemist and would like to correct something: Copper does not react with pure water. Letting it sit on the air for a large amount of time it will oxidize with oxygen of the air to Copper(I)oxide and Copper(II)oxide (ratio will favor the (I)oxide) that actly like a protective layer against further corrosion. However, microorganisms couldn't survive in pure water either. Sweat and natural occuring water is therefor capable of turning copper into one of it'S many salts, like copper sulfate or chloride, these in turn can react back to copper if a source of electrons is given. From here the answer above should be accurate.

I may consider this model to use for looking at bacteria to find their frequencies of light to kill them for using a little solid copper wire device I worked on for two years to figure out how to create any spectrum of the rainbow without an external power source. It creates invisible light and m getting incredible results with killing microbes in a contaminated well as well as the body.

"Special Stains - Which One And Why" (Sakura Finetek USA) 48:09 long should be a good primer.I'm about to watch it to satisfy my curiosity. Search histological staining and see if any of these videos provide the desired information.

Hi, I'm about to buy that microscope. You think it's a good purchase. It will be my first microscope. I want to use it to look more at the protozoa and various microorganisms. pd:you have other videos where you look at other things with the microscope?

You can check out my other youtube channel here: kzitem.info/rock/ZG2CV8y-tjzoy_zCsg2NJQ I recommend the the National Optical / Swift SS110 if you are low on budget. If you are interested in a more long-term microscope, one that you will not outgrow as much, I recommend on e that is a bit larger and one which has a condenser. While the SS110 works well for its price (and I use it for travelling and as a field microscope as well - it is very portable and good for kids), I think that buying a slightly more expensive one might also be worth considering.

Difficult to see from the pictures, but first and third microscope seem to have full-sized objectives. The second one is a low cost version. The second one I know and I made a video on it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pat3zYNnj3R3eaA (small objectives) If I had a choice, I would buy microscopes with full sized objectives.

I got a copy of this microscope several months ago From Ebay. Mine left a lot to be desired. Infact it was dire. dillly dallied to lomg with it. then too late to send it back. I should have known you get what you pay for. $25 will not get you a decent microscope. Very low power it was OK even that is being generious. Trying to push it was hopeless.

Black light is UV light. You can use this to illuminate chloroplasts of algae and plants. You should be able to do "blue light excitation" microscopy, in which the green chloroplasts start to shine red (the cholorphyll starts to fluorescence). As a matter of fact, I intend to exchange the LED of the microscope in the video to a blue LED in order to try this out. But care is needed that the UV does not damage the eyes, so I first have to determine the wavelength of the LED.

Most informative video however could've done with a less sensitive mic. At that low volume with my old person hearing had to pause a few times, leave the room, open porch door to the great outside and listen closely for a minute at 7:36 & 7:45. Luckily no kid was in distress. Listen closely

Thanks for your great information on microscopes. I bought a microscope at a garage sale but it's missing any eyepieces and even the holder for the eyepiece. It only has an inside threaded hole with a lens visible. I see that you had an extension tube on this microscope which has a thread and can hold the eyepiece. I think that's just what I need. Where can I get such a tube? When I measure the inside diameter of the thread it is about 23.1mm. Thanks for any help and advice.
@Microbehunter

Eyepieces with 23mm are easy to get, this is the standard size. I am not sure what you mean with extension tube. Is this the (black) tube that goes from the microscope to the eyepiece? If this is missing, then you have to resort to a DIY solution, as it is unlikely that these can be bought separately. Maybe use a PVC pipe cut to the correct length etc.

@@Microbehunter Thanks for your quick replay. Yes, I did mean the black tube. I don't know how long to make the tube or what are the specs for the thread but I'll try. I noticed some older eyepieces come with a thread on the bottom. I think I'll buy some eyepieces and see what distance works. Thanks again for your help.

I really like your videos but I have not followed your advice! I found a great deal on a used Nikon microscope (over $3000 new) for $300 and got it instead of one of the new china microscopes for the same price. (Damn am I happy I did this!) On this video I am surprised you didn't mention the LACK of stage positioning knobs! That would have been a deal killer for me! I would buy a USED (for the same price) low cost microscope with the stage positioning knobs before buying that one you reviewed.
