    I want to start analyzing the waters I've been drinking as most are filled with plastic, and It's been found that calcium carbonate encapsulates up to 80% of the 3 most common plastics found in water after boiling, making it easy to filter out. I wanna buy a microscope to experiment with different water sources and different filtration methods at home, and just have some peace of mind that I'm not drinking poison.

    They satisfy curiosity if nothing else. I see specks in drinking water, put a drop under the microscope and inspect it. Of course then there's the problem of interpreting the result of what you see, but at least you can usually tell if it is a mineral or if it is moving.

    Shame on you! As an amateur jewelry maker, flush cutters are only for delicate wire & pins!😂 Also, I've never seen added water to a worm box. Wet newspaper is the best way. Good to know about the melon tho. That'd be another great source of water. Still, you have to show a good method for draining the (highly prized) liquid gold out of the bottom & how to harvest the castings.

    Currently you can find this model often on e-Bay with $5000. I agree, it was maybe 100 000, but now it's definitely worth only $5000-$7000 with brightfield optics installed. And Honestly, an Olympus CX43 brand-new for $5000 I believe it's a better choice considering the optical features and image quality. If this thing breaks, you will have a hard time fixing it or finding cheap parts.

    Zoom and magnificent are 2 different things! The digital microscope are just like cameras. It is not saying that the object is being magnified 1600x, it is talking about zoom range. If you had a camera that had a lens that went from 1mm to 100mm that is a 100x zoom. But if you had a 500mm prime lens it would be a 1x zoom even though everything is way larger on the sensor. So if you zoomed all the way out, see how many mm is shown on the sensor then all the way in and divided by how many mm shown on the sensor it would be the zoom range.

    Best for microscopy Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera and the software inside

  • @micro_safari
    @micro_safariАй бұрын

    I actually get worse image quality on my mirrorless cameras, mostly because the sensor is not designed for low light environments, which leads to noise in the image. There are some other technical considerations which make regular mirrorless/DSLR camera sensors non-ideal for microscopy too. That being said, if you can absolutely blast your sample with an IMMENSE amount of light, mirrorless cameras will give you the best image. But I am talking amounts of light that the majority of microscopes cannot provide stock.

  • @lotharmayring6063
    @lotharmayring6063Ай бұрын

    @@micro_safari that depends on the software of your camera. Normaly mirrorless DLSR cameras have the best sofware for noise reduction, sensivityadaption and so on. But sometimes i use a 4K webcam without the optics, they do a good job for hobbiists

  • @micro_safari

    Good question! No, those are likely just particles that are moving due to brownian motion (not necessarily alive). Sperm cells should all be roughly the same size and, unless they are greatly malformed, will have a flagella (the tail).
