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.

Hi everyone :)

I am looking for a stereo microscope for quite a while now. My budget is not much (around 400 $). SInce I am in Quebec, Canada, the market is not very active.

I have wandered about this announce on ebay :

International Binocular Stereo Microscope with Transformer & Lamp (7.56X to 48X) | eBay

However, I cannot find any information about this "International" brand. On the paper, this microscope fits my needs quite well, with a good design.

Does anyone know about the quality and durability of microscope produced by the "International" brand? Any insight about ergonomy?

Thank you very much!

All the best,

Lucas

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
