Well I just gave away my backup old Nikon S model to my friend's daughter who is going to college to become a Nurse and starts lab classes next week in September. I don't really need it cause I have the same scope with 3 PLAN objective lenses on it. 4th is a regular 6X Anyhow highest I know I have without getting my second scope out of its box is Nikon PLAN 20X and 40X. I been looking at bird bath water samples today and downloaded the AM Scope camera software for camera that I have.
My other scope is all phase contrast even every objective and I think it is a 5 or 6 turret model. Hold on I'll look inside the box-
Olympus BH Phase Contrast with 5 objectives turret. That I have used for an easy Amoeba capturing scope! Sees them easy!
Anyhow THANK YOU Oliver! And I remember a few people Crator Eddie, BillBilt and a few others. Hi !!!
Well I am sort of getting back into the hobby of viewing water samples and observing the little critters!

Re: New Old one
Coming back to the hobby recently I noticed my misunderstanding.

I learned from this video the correct way. My story is in the very beginning I understood but I exclusively have used the camera in the binocular head's one eye piece and have totally forgotten the eye pieces have focus/ magnification and then step two of my comprehending things wrong was I looked at the objectives and obviously 5X could not mean it is 5 times bigger then so X was the Roman numeral 10 and it meant 50 times, etc... for each objective which actually I guess is sort of in the ball park of when you figure the objective being effected by the eye pieces.
To repeat- I always used the USB camera to my computer monitor and totally forgot the eye pieces had adjustments or magnifications to them. 5X does mean 5 times the size which gets further multiplied by the eye pieces. X is not the Roman numeral 10.
And for me, I have 2 very nice microscopes, the next best purchase would be the stereoscope kind you can look at bugs and plant leaves etc... I really want to do that in fact more much of the time!
A big Thanks to Oliver for his instructional videos.
