The 4x and 10 x objectives give pretty sharp views, but the 40 x and 100 x give somehow mushy views. Make sure there is very little water and detritus under the cover slip on both the 100x and the 40x so that the subject you are viewing is as close to the bottom of the cover slip as possible.

what mm is it?

It is a 24mm eyepiece.

FWIW, the different eyepieces did modify the focal point of the objectives. With the ES, the focal point is almost the same from the stock eyepiece, but not quite. I noticed this might be an issue with the 40 an 100 x objectives because the field lens is to close to the cover glass. I had yet to gai...

Hi Jia,

Good to hear from you. I'm a total newbie, although I have been working with zooplankton and purplish mold spores for three decades, all microscopically...

Just kidding, I know nothing...

Javier.

Hi, I introduce my microscope. It's a pretty basic monocular Chinese microscope. I'm glad I followed Oliver's advice on buying one with a chariot and a condenser with filter holder. I love the darkfield views. The 4x and 10 x objectives give pretty sharp views, but the 40 x and 100 x give somehow mu...

My main hobby is amateur astronomy and I have been observing for 12 years. I did some astrophotography for ...
