How do I post a photo?

Judge

You're correct, i don't have a condenser.
Thanks

Judge

apochronaut mentioned having a condenser. The microscope has a diaphragm where the condenser would be. This diaphragm has different size holes. Is this supposed to function as a condenser?

Judge

ok, I understand. Is it possible to add a condenser to this microscope?

I’m looking to purchase a 60x objective for a sw200. Swiss does not sell it. Does anyone know where I can obtain one? I know that there are adapters but I’m not sure if that’s the way to go. Also, how do I find out which threads are on my sw200?

Judge

A 100x magnification can be obtained with a 10x eye piece and a 10x objective OR a 25x eye piece and a 4x objective. Other than a “depth of field” issue which combination is preferred?

Judge

Thanks for the information. I'm relatively new at this and appreciate the help available on this forum.

I’ve seen a video by Oliver stating that it could be dangerous to culture bacteria. How would one go about culturing specimens while keeping the bacteria population under control?

Judge

Thank you

I ‘ve noticed different size cover slips available. Are there any recommendations> Swift 4x 40x 100x objectives.

Judge

I have the Swift 5,0-megapixel camera. The company has told me that it is not equipped to take time lapse videos. Does anyone have any suggestions for time lapse?

Judge

I used Greg's suggestion and it works perfectly.
Thanks all

I am looking for a mechanical stage that fits a Swift SW200DL. Does anyone know where I could find one or is there a way to modify a different mechanical stage to fit?

Thanks. Any other suggestions?

Judge

Good idea or bad idea.
Would it be good to sterilize equipment in a microwave (slides, petri dish, etc.)?

Judge

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll check out your recommendations. When I adjusted the stop for the higher magnifications I was unable the focus the lower objectives so I put it back to the original. Thanks again.

Judge

I do have an adjustable stop. Can I do damage by messing with it?

Judge

Can't focus with the longer objectives it runs into the cover glass on the attempt to focus.
I'll look into other objectives.
Thanks guys

What about using 2 covers instead of a slide?

Judge

I cannot use the larger objective because it will hit the slide. What are my options?

Judge

I’m relatively new to this. Is there anything (poster, charts, photos, etc.) that I could place next to my microscope to help me identify organisms?
