Here are some photomicrographs to verify the functionality of imaging with the microscope. All photomicrographs were taken from a NFK 2.5 Eyepiece and Canon Rebel XS Camera using the small JPG format for imaging. This photomicrographic setup is not included for the microscope.

Some resolution images. All were taken in brightfield with condenser settings matching objective NA.

10x Plan Apochromat 0.40 NA N. lyra https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AC ... authuser=0
20x Plan Achromat 0.46 NA S. phoenicenteron https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP ... pITXo2Q0FB
40x Plan Achromat 0.70 NA P. angulatum https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP ... pITXo2Q0FB

100x Plan Achromat 1.25 NA F. rhomboides https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AC ... authuser=0

Edit: Upon review of the links, the images are slightly more compressed than when viewed through eyepiece. I assure any potential buyer that each of the objectives fully resolve the details of the diatoms.

Hello! I'm interested in the BH2-BHT, if it's still available! I'm new to the forum after visiting without an account over the past year or so—looking to grab my first personal microscope; unfortunately, I can't send a direct message due to the limited number of posts. Let me know if email, etc., might be a good place for questions! Thanks!

Bumping this thread. Also, I am including an Amscope DK-Oil200 Darkfield Condenser for high magnification darkfield with this microscope. Please keep in mind that the condenser will only work up to objectives with NA of 1.1 or less and that immersion darkfield may be variable for those higher NA objectives unless an iris is included.
