Hello from new girl, total noob

#1 Post by JGQ » Wed Sep 28, 2022 11:14 pm

Hi all! I've always wanted my own microscope since using one in high school and college. Well, I finally got around to getting one, just a cheap one from Amazon. I used it for a couple of days and decided I was hooked so bought an upgrade: the Swift 380B. I know it's not premium but I think it will be a good start for me. I have loads of questions so I hope everyone can be patient with me. All right, that's all for now. :)

JGQ,

Welcome to the forum.
I would suggest watching a few of Oliver Kim's instructional videos
and TO HAVE FUN.
P.S. I myself am definitely not "above" the instructional videos and have recently honed my skills by things I learned.

I know you will absolutely love your new hobby. But don't get those two scopes too close together. They multiply like rabbits.
