Re: Chinese microscopes
75RR, I didn't see the advice given, as anything other than helpful and well meant, but for me it doesn't fit, and its not a matter of my being determined to ignore it. Within sensible limits, cost is not an issue, and I could go out tomorrow and spend a couple £k on a high end microscope. God knows...

Re: Hi from East Anglia (UK)
Thank you. Bresser also make budget telescopes, and have been around for many years. I could be wrong but I believe there is a 'tie up' between them and Celestron. This looks like many of the other budget end microscopes, and is almost certainly of Chinese origin, but then other than the premium bra...

Re: Chinese microscopes
The only 'pitfall' that I can see with that, is those attending such meetings are likely to be dedicated microscopists, and as such unlikely to have budget equipment. I could find myself looking through a high quality microscope, such as a Nikon, Olympus, or Leica etc, this could set a standard, but...

Re: Chinese microscopes
Thank for your welcome 'zzffnn', and wise words. As with apochranaut's , btw, does anybody here use given names, it all sounds a bit like some sort of CB club :lol: , what you both say is very logical, and a common sense approach for someone venturing into microscopy, but as I said, I don't yet know...

Re: Chinese microscopes
Thank you for your input 'apochronaut', as a lifelong amateur photographer, and digital from its first appearance, I am indeed very aware, from practical experience of optical shortcomings with budget lenses, for my photography, only shoot with pro-spec lenses, and these don't come cheap, but as the...

Hi from East Anglia (UK)
Hi, I am a keen amateur photographer (https://davesimaging.wixsite.com/mysite), with a particular interest in wildlife, including Macro, and am looking to extend this to photo microscopy. Although my photography gear is all 'high end spec', at this stage I am not looking to spend 'big money' on a mi...
