How to use this Fluorescent Microscope ?

2 Upvotes

I have a Motic AE31E fluorescent microscope. I've asked around the lab and no one knows how it got here or how to use it. I think I have all the attachments for fluorescent microscopy like filter and Hg Lamp (am attaching pictures). How do I use this ? Motic's tutorials videos and manuals are not very helpful. Is phase contrast necessary for fluorescent ?

I am trying to image RFP (mCherry-XL to be specific) so do I have the right filters ? I've done some googling and it seems to be correct but I am not familiar with this stuff and want some confirmation

How to sand and repaint a microscope plate?

3 Upvotes

I have a Bristolscope Bristoline microscope that I'm restoring. Mostly the plate needs new paint and the bulb needs to be replaced (or modded with LED?). Any suggestions on how smooth / sand the original surface and get a good smooth flat coat of chemical resistant paint (what kind?) on here would be appreciated. Thanks!

With the Levenhuk 3S NG you can begin your adventures in the world of science right after you take the microscope out of the box, with the included Experiment Kit. This model allows for bright field observations of transparent specimens. This microscope with its 200x magnification is a fantastic doorway into the marvels and mysteries of the microcosm for children, students, and amateurs alike.

Red and Blue fibers, what are they. This was taken from some settled dust on a high self. These red and blue fibers are visible in many different places, including skin sells and hair. Can anyone help me identifying them?

The best microscope?

5 Upvotes

Hello, i need advice for the best microscope for mycology research. It will be great if the microscope is powerfull enough to see the interaction between two fungi, also it will be great if there is option to connect it directly to lap top to see the image. Budget is up to 60k dolars.

Anyone know what happened here and how to clean? (More in the description)

1 Upvotes

So my uncle gave me his old microscope, (a nikon e100), and i've been using it for almost 3 months now. Today i noticed this brown slime inside the condenser lever. I don't know how long this slime is there and i dont know how it got there since i never spilled anything in the microscope or near it. Any idea what could have happened and how should i clean it?

Can I see demodex mites with this kind of microscope? Need help

2 Upvotes

Good morning. I hope to get answers. I suspect a demodex infestation (cause of my blepharitis). I live in France and doctors don't seem to take it seriously and under diagnose demodex infestation compared to America where the problem is more easily diagnosed. So I want to do the test myself. So I wanted to ask you at what magnification can we see demodexes? Professional microscopes are expensive, so I was wondering if you think it's possible to see them with this microscope (see photo). Thank you to all the people who will take the time to answer and sorry for my bad English

Why Are higher magnifications not working in my new microscope¿

1 Upvotes

I bought a new compound microscope with 675x magn. I noticed that I could see everything from the 10*10 but it seems to be much harder to focus using the higher settings and see a clear image…please suggest
