Hi: As I said in the Nikon's post sorry for the delay to publish this post. Again, thanks to all that answered my post in newbie section!. I received the microscope in a wooden box and everything seems OK. I did a superficial cleaning and adjustement following the covington page about B&L SZ and the...

Hi: Sorry for the delay to publish this post. Thanks to all that answered my post in newbie section!. I received the microscope and everything was OK. I did a superficial cleaning and the microscope works OK and seems aligned and responsive, I not note nothing bad or strange. I don't know the exact ...

Of course! I post as soon as they arrives!

Hi everyone, finally I did buy the B&L and the Nikon SMZ-2. Thanks all for your answers, when they arrives surely I do a lot of other questions in the forum, THANKS AGAIN.

THANKS!!!!

(MIL GRACIAS!!!!)

Yes Bob, I agree totally! I have a modest (-chinese Amscope) compound microscope for the celular level things. For electronics soldering and in-vitro explants cutting I only need low to moderate amplification. I think that 20x it's the top that I would be use. The only case that I think that would u...

You are correct in that actual f.o.v. is related to the magnification but some microscopes have/had an option to use better eyepiece designs that have a wider apparent f.o.v. The Bausch & Lomb you are looking at was in a family of microscopes that included higher end research and comparison models ...

Thanks Billbit! Amscope it's more expensive than these options, of course Amscope options are all new. I buy an Amscope last year, a compound binocular microscope, it's better than I expect of the price, but far,far,far away of a Leica or Nikon similar compound microscope. I ask all of you perhaps i...

Thanks Apochronaut, no FoV it's no much concern in sense that it's related to magnification and working distance. When I work soldering electronic circuits or cutting explants for in-vitro culture, working distance it's the most important (quality of optics it's the first off course) parameter but I...

Yes! When I found it and send the photographs to university for identification the doctor specialized in protist said the same

I add two more photographs of the beginnings of the """colony"""

In the glass
At the bottom

Edit, my second option, the Nikon with the scratched Oculars it's a 7x-45x SZM45-b1 but I believe that this code not exists

My pleassure, at this time I had a Nikon D70s, 6MP, but the first photograph was framed. I add the full framed and other complete photograph similar to first picture. I have a lot more photographs of stentors if you need it and a lot of photographs of other small aquatic critter. New photo First Sec...

Hi Tarloth, welcome. Had a look at your post in Beginner's Corner , unfortunately the images are not visible. Perhaps you could try re-posting the photos or alternatively just post the links. Do visit the Resources (online, books etc.) section, there is a lot of interesting information there. THANK...

To see small aquatic critters, depending on how small you want them to be, you will need more than an average stereo microscope. Higher end modern stereo microscopes can in fact be used as lower power transmitted light microscopes( up to about 200x) but to get good enough quality at that magnificat...

Hi everybody: I need a stereo microscope for the following tasks: * Assembly and solder electronic boards with very small components * Cut very small vegetal tissue for micropropagation * See small aquatic critters (foer be honest, see any small living thing) * If I could adapt any camera to microsc...

Hi everybody! I'm an enthusiastic of any life forms and since ever a fanatic of macro photography. When I was a child I have a microscope (regular monocular one, for students) but when I enter to the midle school I had access a excellent metalographic and biological microscopes. At university I use ...
