I would like to ask about your opinion about this particular brand and microscope. It is from a hungarian brand than seems to be practicaly no-name (albeit few foreign shops offer them on their sites) and I am a little bit skeptic about a possible purchase. On the page it seems perfect and meets al...

Interestingly I have seen some off-brand manufacturers pointing out they use metal in their construction. Perhaps in response to concerns like those mentioned in this forum. Whether those "metal" parts translate to equivalent longevity or performance to older scopes will be proven with time. I thin...

How do the two scopes compare in image quality? How much difference do the Olympus objectives make? Just curious, thanks!

Is it possible? In general ebay works. For both buyers and sellers of microscopes and parts, it offers a unique market connection, that would be hard to replace. Ebay works for ebay too, by charging a percentage on sales, as well as a listing fee. The more something sells for, the more they make. E...

Hey &Thanks for reading. :mrgreen: A store in our neighborhood is selling this korean Microscope: (200$) http://www.bestmadeinkorea.com/product-70817/Medical-device/Professional-Biological-Microscope.html Would you mind to have a look at it? I need it for studing (marine)water organisms and algae.(...

I just bought a C&A Scientific Premiere SMZ-07 stereoscope. It has zoom capability from 7x to 45x and it also has a trinocular head. So, my next mission will be to figure out how to mount my Nikon dSLR to it. I'll probably order an adapter I found on Amazon for around $90.00, but I'm not sure of th...

I really like the paint finish on that. Glossy and thick, meant to last.

It's the same as Amscope's http://www.amscope.com/40x-1500x-plan-infinity-laboratory-trinocular-compound-microscope.html I guess the photo on their website shows different objectives, but it's most likely a listing error (older revision). They definitely have the same exact ones, at least on the T720s

They are very nice images. Do you know about Köhler lighting? Apologies but I'm not sure what your equipment is. e.g. http://www.brunelmicroscopes.co.uk/kohler.html or http://zeiss-campus.magnet.fsu.edu/articles/basics/kohler.html Nope, I just found out though. I'm using a http://www.microscopenet....

I have no idea what I'm doing yet, I Just maxed out light intensity, closed condenser all the way and tried my best to focus. Any advice on using the ToupView software, or if I'm doing something wrong, I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Hi, I read in the Olympus manual and also in the Zeiss cleaning manual that you should *never* clean internal optics yourself, but let an authorized service center do the cleaning. Does any one here have any experience or knowledge from this and what would be the reason? Is it so that the coating i...

from my experience it can be a loose soldering connection, bad potentiometer, bad power supply/transformer, and less frequently bad LED, fuse, or external power adapter, if that applies. All this is just gobbledegook though as each model has its peculiarities. You should have at least 1 spare bulb a...

Excellent post Bill. I highly recommend the Zeiss Primostar, btw, on that link. It was the best detail I've seen looking through a scope. I'll have to look through a T720 again to compare but it was pretty amazing. I'd definitely cough up an extra $400-500 for one of those.
