Where can I get a Barlow lens for Bresser Microset 40x-1024x

#1 Post by andrewjmdata » Sun Jan 19, 2020 12:42 pm

Hi, I bought the microscope 2nd hand and it's missing the Barlow lens.

The manual says it needs the Barlow lens to be able to use the "Microocular" (digital viewer).

1. Is this the case, can I do it without?
2. Does anyone know where I can get the correct Barlow lens? Amazon seems to only have the telescope version.

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
you might not even want the barlow lens. It offers additional pre magnification of the image and usually leads to empty magnification, bigger, but not more detail. Is that Microocular worth the effort to look for a barlow lens? It should have at least 1 Megapixel to be usable for general application.
