Good Microscope
    #18708418 - 08/15/13 09:59 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hey, so I want to get a good microscope for a beginner but also good for using the next years without handicaps. I want to spend about 150-200€ (about 198-265 US dollars), I was checking the ones available on amazon uk considering I'm from Europe, does anyone have any suggestion about brand/model?
I think it should have at least 1200x right? I have found some that have 40x-400x, 1600x (digital)for example (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bresser-Microscope-5201000-LCD-Microscope-40x1600x/dp/B001ARF1RY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1376581439&sr=8-4&keywords=microscope), would this digital magnification be adequate for spores or other structures, or I shouldn't rely on the digital but only on the microscope's magnification?

Any help would be great! thanks :tongue2:

Look for something that will give you 1000x magnification. Optical not digital magnification (digital is empty magnification ie no extra resolution). It should have a 100x oil immersion objective. Something with kohler illumination is good if you can find one. A mechanical stage is very useful (must have IMO). Go for a binocular (or trinocular if you want a dedicated camera port), monoculars are a migraine waiting to happen. Most people start with something like an amscope.

Search this forum for other microscope threads. There is lots of great information about what to look for in some of them.
