A family friend who used to work in the microbiology department at Uni passed away recently. His wife is good friends with my mom and she asked me to take his hobby microscope and see if its worth anything as I'm the only one who does anything even remotely science related.

Its a Zeiss microscope from West Germany that has an integrated 35 mm camera and from what I researched online it comes with Planapo objectives which are apparently quite good. There were little sliders that go on top of the objectives and people told me these are for DIC. She gave it to me with the camera just like he left it. I looked at some blood and microbes and it looks pretty sick, really sharp image and contrast. Its still with me and they haven't asked to give it back so I guess I'm keeping. What would be some more interesting stuff to look at with it?

I have never ever been able to see microbes under a microscope. What am i doing wrong? Lewenhook or whatever saw them using a cloudy 10x microscope. Galileo saw the moons of jupiter with a potato. Why can't i see bacteria using a state of the art moldovan microscope?

But would the bacteria see your eyeball when they look up the microscope?

mine was 12k with minor upgrades but you can get way cheaper with basically same optic quality. You'll never get better resolution/magnification w/ more money just cleaner image and better features

Thats a cool microscopy station, anon. Awesome view of the window too. Apart from you aquarium what else do you use the microscope for?

>You'll never get better resolution/magnification w/ more money
You can buy objectives with higher NA/magnification ratio with better color correction, also get Nomarski and fluorescence equipment. Not to mention super-resolution but this is outside the scope of the hobbyist.

What country are you in and where are you buying from? Also might be worth approaching universities/hospital pathology departments and asking if they have any second-hand/old microscopes they're looking to get rid of.

Cheers lads. Not buying one myself, just curious and appreciate the autism.
Do you use it professionally or as a hobby?

I have stuff do do a lot of micro tests and blood differentials. Might just do some tests on myself/random people for fun. Otherwise I put lots of random stuff in there like plants, body fluids fluids, anything biological

>>12481849
I'm also lab tech at hospital so they're used for all kinds of body fluid analyses

Very occasionally I have to do immunofluorescence and single molecule FISH at work.

If you guys haven’t tried it basically you have to transplant the device using stamping method to a medium.
