User questions & answers

Question: Is there a camera you recommend that can be attached to the microscope
Answer: you can mixing the soil and water,and ph pen only can test liquid. if totally soil (solid,not liquid), PH pen can not test.
Question: I see the package dimensions of 16.3" x 13.6" x 10.2" but what are the actual product dimensions
Answer: Sorry never have tried.I bought 2 ,1 for back up in case I drop in the water.I also check to see if any different in reading.on a 700 ppm,the two meters where only 4 Ppms apart.been using last 4 monthsI have 24 plants to check weekly,doing great job,good luck,Vince In tennessee
Question: How do you attach the Cell Phone to it? There are no instructions for that
Answer: I don't have this meter, but, if 32° fahrenheit/0° Celsius is freezing, than -3°C is about 26°F. Which is pretty close to what you are seeing. How long did you leave the meter on the solution? Inexpensive meters can be slow to stabilize on temp readings.

ESSLNB 2000X Biological Monocular Microscope with Vertical Trinocular Port

Compound biological microscope comes with a 30° inclined binoculars viewing head, two pairs of widefield eyepieces (WF10X, WF20X), four Din achromatic objectives 4X, 10X, 40X(S),100X(S, Oil), large X-Y Axis double layer mechanical stage with scales, NA1.25 Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm, coaxial coarse & fine focus knobs and variable intensity LED transmitted illumination system.

Objective Structure

  • Equipped with four 195 all-optical achromatic objectives, the body is made of metal copper, the multiples are 4X, 10X, 40X, 100X. Since the 40X and 100X objective lenses are close to the slides during observation, the two lenses are internally designed with springs in order to prevent crushing of specimens.
  • A single objective lens structure accessories are extremely complicated, the accessories are metal parts, copper parts, optical parts.
  • A conjugate distance of our objective lens is 195 mm,which is an achromatic objective lens that corrects field curvature and astigmatism and a vertical axis chromatic aberration of less than 2.5%.

2000X Magnification with 100X Oil Immersion Objective

  • 195 Achromatic objective lens offer larger lens, better optical system, higher cost,more light transmission and clearer image
  • The instinctive reaction of a first time user is to prefer microscope kits that offer higher magnification. But this is misleading. Most microscope kits don't offer any intermediate magnifications between 1000X and the maximum magnification they offer (2000X or 2500X), so that maximum magnification doesn't really give you any extra resolution over a 2000X microscope.

Large Field of Eyepieces

  • A pair of wide-field eyepieces (WF10X/20X) provides 8 magnifications between 40X and 2000X for biological use and educational application.
  • Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences.
  • Two wide-angle eyepieces is made of full-optical glass lens, with metallic lens body.
  • It gives you clear imaging effect and excellent workmanship feeling.

NA1.25 Abbe Condenser with Iris Diaphragm

  • The light intensity can be controlled with the aperture lever to control the amount of light focused on an object or organism.
  • Abbe ondenser can move up and down by rotating the condenser lifting control ring to change the light intensity.
  • Blue filters can increase the resolution of the objective lens, weaken the intensity of the light source, and maximize the aberration.

Coaxial Coarse and Fine Focus Adjustment

  • It offers precise location for sharp and clear images.
  • Coaxial coarse & fine focus knobs on both sides
  • The coaxial positioning makes you not to move your hand much when focusing the microscope.

Mechanical stage with adjustment handle

  • The double layer mechanical stage gives you full movement of your sample for scanning purposes, or centering purposes.
  • Instead of just the clips moving around on the stage, the entire stage moves in the X, Y, and Z dimensions.
  • Your slide won’t slip off in any way when you’re trying to locate your point of interest on your slide.

LED Illumination with Adjustable knob

  • Transmitted illumination can be found because it has a LED light of which the intensity can be adjusted depending on the situation.
  • It also lasts much longer than a typical halogen bulb.

Microscope Phone Adapter

  • Biological microscope with smartphone adapter, you could record the beauty and acquire the knowledge in the microworld better.

2 Kinds of Power Supplies

  • You can choose any one of power supplies according to your needs.
  • You needn't worry there is no electrical socket outlet outside and can use batteries instead.
  • You can take this miceoscope anywhere you want without worrying about power

Blue filter+Cedar wood oil+Slides

  • Blue filters can be used in different levels of light control to better observe.
  • 100X objective lens is marked with “oil”, which means oil mirror. Due to its high multiple, the lens and amount of light transmission is small, the objective lens needs to use cedar wood oil so that change the transmission of light from air to oil in order to reduce light loss, for enhancing the brightness of the field of vision, and offer clear image.

AmScope Compound Microscope Immersion Oil, Type B - Non-Drying for Microscopy -1 oz. Bottle

United Scope LLC

Based on 7 reviews Check latest price

Product description

This microscope immersion oil contains 1 Oz (30ml) Type B immersion oil, generally used with a microscope objectives for better microscopy images.

Note: how to clean Microscopes Immersion Oil? If you are using a 100X objective with immersion oil, just simply "swipe" the excess oil off the lens with a kimwipe after use. Occasionally dust may build up on the lightly oiled surface so if you wish to completely remove the oil then you must use an oil soluble solvent. For the Type A or B immersion oil, you can use Naptha, Xylene, or turpentine (use very small amounts on the kimwipe). Do not use water, alcohol or acetone as the oil is insoluble to these solvents. Consult the MSDS info that is supplied with your immersion oil to see what solvents are recommended. To remove other oily substances, we recommend using the detergent called Wisk and prepare a solution of 1 part Wisk to 100 parts water.

A drop of immersion oil between the slide and condenser, and between the slide and objective lens, provides a distortion-free path for light. Safe for all lenses, this medium-viscosity immersion oil is slightly thicker than Type A. The refractive index is 1.5150, the same as that of glass. It can be easily cleaned from slides with a bit of xylene on a lens tissue and is supplied in a bottle with applicator tip so no pipet is necessary.

User questions & answers

Question: Magnification levels: 40X, 100X, and 400X means only 3 viewing options
Answer: I look all over and can’t find where it is made. Sorry
Question: Does this microscope come with instructions? We know how to use the microscope, but are not sure what all of the other accessories are for
Answer: It measures the electrical conductivity of particulates (salt included) in solution.
Question: is this made in the usa
Answer: Hi, It seems to me that titrimetry may be more suitable for testing their ph. Since PH meter is only testing the liquid's PH, doesn't suit for testing the ph of solid state and gas. Since soaps is solid state, if we do the liquid sample of soaps, the ph value won't be the same as before, since pH=-lgCH+, the CH+ in formula is the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution. For testing the ph of cleansers and other skincare products, if they are fluid, this ph meter can read their ph value. If not, that would be no longer be suitable.
Question: How do you use the red and blue food coloring
Answer: Is this a question or a statement? Realize first that this is an entry level type of pH reader... not exactly scientific quality. You also need to calibrate it in EACH solution ( with distilled water)... in other words, make three separate solutions, in three separate cups (again.. with distilled water, and also with the right amount of water), and then calibrate it to each mixture. If it still does not read correctly... send it back. Think smarter, not harder.

User questions & answers

Question: The scope works fine on my pc, but, using an otc cable, my kindle and android phone won't recognize it using the apps mentioned here. what works
Answer: The resolution depends upon the software used to drive microscope. I use an Apple MacBook Pro. The initial directions from Opti-TekScope was to use Apple's Photo Booth, but when I used this method the highest resolution available was 640 x 480. I contacted the company, and they directed me to a piece of (free) 3d party software (Digital Viewer). The Digital Viewer software allows resolution settings of 160x120, 176x144, 320x240, 352x288, 640x480, 800x600, 1280x960, and 1600x1200. I don't know what type of resolutions are available when using a non-Apple product.
