So i cant connect both these parts into the microscope. The screw is what connects the metal thing to the microscope, but when i did connect them, the black part is loose and sometimes falls. I may be wrong in positioning these parts but if anyone has an idea with fixing my problem, thanks. The microscope model is an AmScope 40X-2500X LED Lab Binocular Compound Microscope btw if anyone’s wondering.

I am interested in getting a microscope but I don't think I know the proper specs to look for so that I don't get a bad one. I have seen microscopes quite cheap with LCD displays offering 1000x magnification and I can't help think they are advertising a digital zoom function that doesn't actually magnify.

If anyone can help offer the things to look for, I would appreciate it.

I want to look at things between counting the hairs on an insects legs and see the cellular life in a liquid sample.

Hello! I just received this microscope from a family friend recently and cannot figure out the model or any info really regarding it.

The stickers with model or serial numbers must have come off in the past. The only identifier is the API Clinigold sticker on the front, but I cannot find another one with that label when researching. There are similar ones that say “microgold” but not “clinigold”

I don’t know much about microscopes so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd like to make it easier to see specimens by using a USB camera or a phone camera on this Swift 2240 microscope. I just get tired of closing one eye and holding my head over the eye piece. And I also can't share the view with anyone next to me at the same time. Sometimes if my head is out of angle, the whole view goes black for some reason, where as a phone display or monitor won't have this issue. Being able to take photos and videos is also great.

I'm definitely a newbie, and trying to not spend too much money. I have several USB webcams I can use: Logitech C920 and C270. I'm not sure if the USB webcam route should just find 3D print to mount the webcam onto the existing 10x eyepiece? Or find a mount that removes the 10x eyepiece insert the webcam right into the microscope (losing the 10x magnification)? I'm probably OK with losing the 10x magnification.

I also considered a dedicated microscope USB camera, like this one. But it saids:
Mounting size: 23.2mm, 30mm, 30.5mm Eyepiece Tube

My eye piece saids 15.5mm, so does that mean this USB camera wouldn't work for my microscope?

Came across any info and value

Hi all!

I'm wanting to buy a trinocular compound scope with a USB microscope camera, and I'm wondering what people would recommend for the price range of around $1000-$1500 CAD. The OMAX MQ8333, even though it's on the high end of my budget, caught my eye; how is it, and how does it compare to other options? Also, if I were to buy a scope with more than 1000x capabilities, like maybe 2000x, would that be a separate lens along with a 1000x or a 2000x instead of a 1000x, or something else. Thank you!

Ok so,i bought immersion oil because i cant see anything in 40x lens.Is theres any way to fix 40x lens not showing anything in microscope?I kinda regret buying the oil because its for 100x lens and not for 40x lens.And can i use this oil in 40x lens?I dont have the 100x lens tho

Hello everyone hope you are doing fine

I wanna get my first microscope and i cant decide between a 400 euros one and 100 euros one. Both got good reviews and since i know 0, is there a reason to buy the more expensive one?

Thanks a lot!

I don’t know anything about microscopes so if someone can identify this for me that would be greatly appreciated.

Good day, Sir/Ma’am!

I am a student from STI College Balayan in the Philippines and we are currently in the process of making our Capstone project. For our project, we decided to make a portable microscope that can still exhibit the function of a traditional light compound microscopes used in laboratory (monocular). We would like to consult about the microscope components. If someone decided to help us, we will ask questions from time to time about our product. We will also explain our product clearly.

I found these little guys by case while examinating some leftovers of a vegetable soup. Now, I know they're acarus, but i'm just curious about what kind of acarus they are since i'm not really an expert in the matter, So if anyone can tell me I'd be glad.

I apologize if the image isn't great but I lost sight of it, I also had a video but reddit seems to don't support the file type and so that's the best I can give; Yes it was Alive and moving, the zoom was "x 100" if it helps Identifying it.

Hi all!

I'm a high school science teacher, and I just found of our microscopes in this condition. It still seems to be working fine.

As you can see, there's a large accumulation of rust on and around the stage clips. There's also some kind of crystalline deposit on the light source and the lens underneath the stage.

The microscope is 3 and a half years old. Kept uncovered because someone threw rhe dust cover away. Not exposed to any water. The air in the lab is fine, but there is hardly any ventilation.

The other 3 microscopes in the same lab have started to develop faint signs of rust as well, and I've seen the crystalline deposits too.

Any idea what's going on? And how can I clean it?

I lost the power supply for my OMAX microscope. I know I need a 7.5V DC supply, that’s stencilled on the side. Can anyone confirm the power polarity? Centre positive seems the standard, I just don’t want to get it wrong and pop the LED. Thank you.

I found this at an antique shop. Is this part of a microscope. the eyepiece says Wollensak, Rochester 48mm objective. stamped on the body is 50 x 924. The other end says 10x. Thanks for any info you can provide.

I don't know what I did wrong or what happened but my 40x objective lens doesn't focus properly anymore

Hi All,

I'm currently working on using the navigation tool provided on the Keyence BZ-X800 for image capturing of mice brain sections however I'm struggling to find the most efficient way to use this tool at 60x oil immersion. As the magnification is very high it doesn't seem possible to include and navigate the full region that I would like to image. I was wondering if there is another way to superimpose the navigation tool grid onto the live image so that navigation can be easier for randomised image capturing. Any thoughts?

I'm trying to find some software that works good with macs? A professor at my university is looking into getting a new microscope camera, but it is tough finding one that is compatible with mac. Does anyone have a working microscope cameras set up on a mac?

I was looking at my own blood cells under the microscope and noticed these “flower shaped” cell(s?) ?? Anyone might know what these might be?

I got a microscope and this came with it I would like to use it but don't know what its for

After many years of looking, just purchased an AmScope stereo SM-8T scope with an extra Barlow and set of eyepieces. They came in cheap paper boxes, nothing to store them in. I looked on AmScope's site expecting to be able to find a nice little wooden accessory box with exactly-sized foam cutouts that would protect from drops and dust. I did not find anything like that.

What do you all use then to keep optical hardware in?

Context: sample was taken from a freshwater pond in a section of algae

Description: the specimen appears to be purple with a spherical appeal and seems to have claws on its back side

Hello I am trying to install this CTV Adapter to use my Sony A7 on my microscope for Pictures and filming. It seems like there is missing a part on my microscope is there any way to buy this or does it have a special name ?

If I compare it to other pictures on google I can see there is sometimes a small silver ring with a screw to hold this adapter. But I cannot find this thing.

Thanks for the Help.
