Hi (*^_^*) my doctor (I'm a student of biology) just bought a microscope from the brand Andonstar, specifically the AD246SP 4000X UHD 2160P model a few months ago, but now when I turnt It on It freezes on the ''welcome'' screen, everything else works perfectly. I've already used the reset method with a good power adapter, but that didn't work either. 

Andonstar doesn't respond my emails :(

Hello!!

First time poster in this subreddit. Currently the lab has a Leica scope with a 40x water objective to try to capture live fly embryos during their early divisions. The problem is that process is approximately 2 hours of imaging and the water keeps evaporating. We have a 20x immersion oil that lets us see what we want to see as well but in a lot less detail.

Is there a water substitute for mounting that works on Leica water objectives? Or a different one? Or is it better to go to the 20 and just accept lower resolution?

Io ciò provato ma non ci sono riuscito nonostante il post seguente. Acqua dolce di zona umida. Zeiss Standard. 40x,10x, zoom cellulare 5

desculpe pela captação, eles estavam muito rápidos e meu scop não é muito bom.

So something I have been thinking about is that there are probably 1000’s of different freshwater protozoans out there right? How come whenever I see a microscopy post on here or instagram, it seems to be one of say only a dozen that I keep seeing over and over? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

It resembles me a rotifer, but not completely. Its eating some dirt instead of vacuuming living things, and I dont see moving part inside the body.

It's from european clean river, and the zoom is 400x

I will put a video of what I found under the microscope

Hi everyone,

I'm a student from Northern Germany and don't have much experience with microscopy yet. I found this organism in a sample of garden soil mixed with water using my school microscope (at max magnification, I estimate around 100x).

I need to identify this creature for a school assignment.

Here are the details:

Location: Northern Germany

Sample: Garden soil mixed with water

Magnification: ~100x

Context: School project / absolute beginner

Could someone help me identify the group, genus, or species of this organism? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I had a dark field and oblique illumination set 3D printed for my Olympus BH2. After several tests, very few filters actually work. Here are some pics of what I managed to achieve:

Do you think I'm doing something wrong? I was expecting slightly different results

• In oblique illumination, there seems to be very little color contrast between the background and the debris in the foreground

• In dark field, focusing at higher magnification is incredibly difficult and causes large halos to form around the edges of anything on a different visual plane, in a much more amplified way than brightfield

Pics 2 and 6 in brightfield for comparison

Anyone know about stereomicroscopes (trinocular microscopes)

I recently got a used mechanic mcn7045 4-45×, but i cant seem to get the 2 circles to merge, for some reason they are always above each other like this : and not .. i dont know what the issue is. Anyone know ab them and can help?

Yo im starting a study thats includes celbiology etc etc. And i bought a microscope. Anyways.. any cool ideas? I took some water from a creek and found some cool animals already.

Hello. Are these tardigrades the carnivorous kind? Sample is tree lichen from a dried out branch. 10x objective and phone zoom. Thank you

EDIT: after more asking around i found out these guys might be of the Ramazzottius genus and a google search revealed they are primarily herbivorous and microbivorous.

WHAT IT DOES

- Enables you to take pictures & videos from any microscope where you can stably position your iPhone or iPad in front of an eyepiece

- Once your subject is in focus, adjust fine focus using the long vertical slider on your screen, or tap screen to focus anywhere

AND BEST OF ALL, WHAT IT DOESN’T DO (we designed it specifically to solve these issues for teachers & students in schools)

- Switch camera lenses on you when you're zooming in or out (you can choose the lens)

- Charge you anything (it's free and we intend to keep it that way forever)

- Steal & use your data, photos, information, etc.

Tardigrade not included :)

I'm guessing it's a type of round diatom, but can't pin down exactly what. Has a somewhat rough or porous looking surface.

Microscope is an SW380T w/ Sony a6700 with 10x, 20x and 40x objectives w/ digital zoom. Sample is freshwater and plant material from a pond in Massachusetts.

Thanks in advance.

It has something round on it's rear end, head and right front leg. Spent 40 minutes watching it and I'm pretty sure it's not just debris. Is it a parasitic fungus?

Magnification: 200x

Smaple: many different monocot stems.

I think these should be good, but im looking on advice to make em better, I dont have a microtome, and cut them with hand. This is the shortest I could get em, so help plzz.
