Picture looks good to me.

Does that thing need to take a dump? I saw a rotifer taking a dump last night but had the camera off.

Bausch & Lomb WM1600 stereoscope microscope Nikon "S" type binocular microscope AmScope MD500 five megapixel USB camera with the AmScope software on computer Objective lens that I use- Two 4X One 5X Two 6X One 8X Two 10X One 20X (One of the 4X's is off a turrent) Plus I have all the higher powered o...

On second thought- That tap light stinks and I gotta just get the right bulb and also a blue filter.

Thanks everyone! What I have going for the time being- is that DOT LED tap light with a plastic Shop Rite cashews can plastic lid over it to dim it and lessen the "several lights thing." It is sort of a foggy clear plastic. The image still looks better through the eye pieces than the camera to compu...

The stink bugs in NJ are not like either one of those. A little fatter than the one on the leaf. They made a big thing about 3 years ago and there were a lot then that it was going to be an epidemic with them and I scarcely see them for years now. GOOD!!!!!!!

Thank You! Blue filter also good idea. I ran over to Lowe's and for 12 bucks picked up- 2 LED (7 candles) bulbs AND A LED DOT IT tap light. BTW looks like the box was rewired esp because of lamp cord and switch on cord. And don't use 409 or Fantastic to clean yours because it removed some letters. O...

Royal Microscopical Society issued- specs for threads and dimensions etc... some parts for microscopes. See I like that. You can interchange objective lens and stuff like that. What do people think about AmScopes or whoever who doesn't bother with that. I don't like it personally. That's why I want ...

I just got a used old- Bausch & Lomb WM1600 Stereo Microscope with a Graf-Apsco light. It is a fight to get a whitish screen and it isn't quite as bad in the eye pieces view as what the camera picks up to the computer screen, but still.... yellowish to even yellow green. Sort of like white walls whe...

The antique 1800s and for that matter early 1900's microscopes were probably owned and used by rich people only. Or perhaps you could access one if you were a servant working at their house and they let you use it. Even things like watches were like this. Today anyone can buy a watch or even a micro...

Is this under the general category of "Bristle Worm?"
(newbie here BTW)

I have seen a similar worm in my exp.

Gekko, Yes trying to get a more natural look now so less saturation. Those videos are the chopped down sections put together. I filmed hours!!!!!!!!!! I use Windows Movie Maker and cut out the parts I do not want. My videos are not for most people, just my tastes. I feel I do not cater to people who...

Dale, yes. It is on its way now. I bought one.
BTW I wouldn't want you to go that far, plus it is not a extreme amt. of cash- 138.

Actually my videos sometimes are long because I like to watch their behavior. And some of them are very slow. Why does this little organism drag a plant part across an area? Why do these ones rub by each other? Are Rotifers playing like seals with each other? If you do not care about watching them m...

These are just how ever long for my enjoyment I want to do them. Nothing is too good for the mainstream world here (Youtube or whatever)

I contacted AmScope and they said they will tell their factory of the problem I had.

I am getting a Nikon scope off Ebay for about 138. They look them over and test them they said.

Just a question while we are at this topic...

Are the one eyed Cyclops a version of a Copepod?

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=55153FC6AC252667&id=55153fc6ac252667!1549 The beginning ones I have saturation on AmScope camera software way up. I didn't mind making the critters psychedelic to get more details. I also rely on Contrast and sharpness for that. I am lightening up to have more real bu...

I have two bird baths. When I get water samples it is noted each one will have a separate species and usually (unless we are getting really small) only one species- Say one will have rotifers. Another time it will have something else. Yes I change the water is why. I think bird droppings bring the e...

JimT- AmScopeM120C-2L-PB10 with the 5 mp camera. I have issues with the screw which holds the turrent coming loose. If anyone has a AmScope and never had the turrent screw come loose, I am thinking maybe at the factory they put the washer or whatever on wrong. (something stupid like that) which woul...

Well.... In March I was out of work for a month with a medical problem and thought about the "Visible Man model" and looked it up on Amazon.com. I was thinking "I do not even know much about my body in ways." Well one thing led to another and I remembered the Sears chemistry set and microscope I had...
