Microscope Question
    #8701757 - 07/30/08 11:36 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

I'm looking for a fairly nice quality microsope that I can use for petris, LC's aand I'd also like to do some water quality work, so I'd like to be able to identify and count fungi and bacteria in water samples.

From the reading I've been doing, it looks like a trinocular scope is that way to go.

But I wanted to clarify a couple things.
Budget is prolly around $500.

A stereo zoom scope looks like it would fit the bill, but I wonder if a 7 - 35 or 45 will be suffcient for the bacteria counts.
Am I correct in assuming that the lens is a fixed power and the 'zoom' provided the 'magnification'?? if that makes sense.
I guess my only question about the stereo scopes is if they would provide enough power to do counts in water samples.

I can't find one with an LED light, so I assume I'll have to buy a halogen equipped scope and add an LED ring.

-does light from below the specimen give you a 'compound view' or is it still just the stereo view??

I'm either looking at the amscope.com, or perhaps a used scope- but I don't know if used scopes and components are the best starting place for a n00b.

Any suggestions on a vendor(s) of quality used scopes is welcome, as well as any other input or answers.

oh yeah- any intro to microbiology reference/textbook suggestions are also most welcome. I already have the ID'ing mushrooms book on the list.
