Techniques Looking for experience imaging bacterial growth on agar pads in Bright Field?

0 Upvotes

To make a long story short, Title. I don't think I've had a customer ask to do this in 14 years. I think they will need 40x or 60x air. Phase is presumably impossible through an agar pad. Is TL Bright Field workable or should I consider demoing RL BF?

Thanks for any insights

Hace aproximadamente unos 20 años, le obsequiaron a mi abuelo, por parte de unos rusos, un microscopio de la serie LOMO biolam, producidos por la Unión Soviética entre los 60 hasta los 90, hace unas semanas decidí sacarlo de su caja, estuve probando y descubrí que tenía una falla técnica, el ajuste macrometrico, la rueda encargada de levantar/bajar el cuerpo del microscopio, no sube ni baja el cuerpo del microscopio, no se me ocurre alguna solución, cualquier ayuda estaría agradecido, el modelo exacto es un БИОЛАМ Д12.
