Wide field stereo microscope

Wide field stereo microscope is a tabletop unit with larger viewing field without eyepiece. Sharp and stereoscopic images are observed from the lens in microscope head. Built-in LED illumination provides bright and even light for comfortable viewing. Brightness can be adjusted with the external power box.

So as a birthday present to myself this year I decided to get myself a second microscope.

If you want to see things up close, send me an ask and I will do my best.

In case you’re interested, I am using a Vision Scientific VS-2FZ Trinicular Zoom Stereo Microscope with a 5MP camera for pics.

Here is today’s fun image set.

We begin at MAXIMUM ZOOOOM!

[ID: Hard to tell what this is up close. But they’re white, shiny, and sharp looking, interspersed with teeny dark bits. Are those fibres? Crystals? Flakes? Skin? Is that dark stuff dirt? Ink? Bugs? Blood? /End ID]

Un-zooming up a notch:

[ID: Um, still a mess of…stuff. Kinda white. More little dark dots. Definitely fibrous. But is it paper? Plastic? Some third and mysterious thing starting with a P merely for the sake of alliteration? And…Is that a curve at the bottom? /End ID]

Ok, not too helpful, let’s back out some more.

[ID: Ok, now we’re getting somewhere. It’s round and it’s fibrous and it’s white with little black specks. There might be a flake there too, same material. Can’t tell if this is normal or out of the ordinary. But it’s really round, even up close, and the round thing looks raised. Like the top of a LEGO block, but…fibrous, thready. /END ID]

And another YOINK on the zoom knob (you heard me, I just yoinked my knob. If you can’t handle that without giggling like a twelve year old then at least keep it down so the other kids can learn something)

[ID: Thé zoomed has been dialled back far enough that we can now clearly see the little round indented thing. The surrounding terrain is flatter, with definite horizontal striations of some kind. Is this proof of life? Were these once channeling some great flood of water, millions of years ago? And…hey, up there. In the upper right hand corner. Is that a shadow cast by another ROUND THING? Quick Robin! To the Bat Zoom/Unzoom dial! /END ID]

[ID: It is clear to me now from this vantage point at which I find myself that there are yet more of these round, fibrous masses. They are arranged in some geometric pattern whose ultimate purpose, for all my scientific knowledge, I cannot fathom. /END ID]

[ID: Thé image is the same, but an immense blade has descended from the heavens, its reflective point, glinting and metallic, pointing at the original target of our investigation. Perhaps if we zoom out fully we would have a better perspective. Quick Watson! The game is afoot! /END ID]

[ID: our perspective shifts beyond zooming, beyond the microscope. Returning to the macro-world, we find ourselves affixing our gaze upon an iPhone picture of an Xacto knife, blade pointing downward at a torn fragment of brightly illuminated absorbent paper towel. We can now see the circular, dotted landscape as the embossed dots making up the pattern on the paper towel fragment. /END ID]

Huh. The part I find nearest about this image set is the black dots. Totally can’t see them without the scope.

Oh yeah, and the fact that this entire time we’ve been looking at little dipped valleys as opposed to raised mountains. The final iPhone image of the microscope viewing area shows the paper roll dimples are all facing downwards.

Nifty!

Anyway, I’m going to do more of these. If you want to see the surface of something specific up close, feel free to ask.

At some point I’ll pull out the other microscope and my slides, because those are fun too, but right now I’m enjoying my new (early) birthday toy.

🥳🔬🧻

what type of dissecting scope do you use? and do you like it? also, here is a pet for you

that's the kind of pet i'm talking about!!

anyway my work scope is a Leica M205 C which is a like 50lb behemoth and probably cost my lab $10k+ and it kicks ass. crystal clear optics and an unbelievable magnification range which is essential when so much of my work revolves around beetles that are under 2mm long. the only downside is that the head is so heavy that to keep it from falling down they put some serious tension in the focusing knob and you really gotta put some muscle into cranking it up or down and i'm pretty sure this thing is going to give me carpal tunnel.

my home scope is a cheap Amscope i got like a decade ago. it's about what you'd expect but it gets the job done! the nice thing about it is it's easy to disassemble and stuff into a pelican case i found if i need a traveling scope

It's rather peculiar that you didn't know where it was, especially with your AmScope sitting right on top of it…..

My dear fiancé, are you downstairs, by any chance? And is my laptop there with you?

My betrothed, I am indeed downstairs. Your laptop? No, I have not seen it since I— I have absolutely not seen it. At all. Why do you ask?

Abstractions.

I’m such a blog spaz.

  Walp, I have decided that my decision to spend some money on a microscope (not a top-of-the-line microscope, but his name is Jed and we’re friends, so try to be nice, okay) to take abstract photos was a win. I haven’t done -a lot- of shooting with it, as I don’t like to touch most of the things I would have to touch to put on old Jed, but I’m getting there. Anyway,…

@johnhwatsonblog Not tagging me, John? Ah, I see— you're still upset about the laptop.

(For reference, the answer to your Google search: 'The weight of an AmScope microscope is slightly too much.')

People I'd like to know better!

MicroBrite starts usually at around 20USD AmScope starts at around fifty.

If I had a microscope nobody would be able to stop me or tell me anything. I would be looking at blood and jam and cat hairs and I'd be collecting swabs from doorknobs and the floor and the steering wheel of my car. I would have a blog dedicated solely to pictures of my microscope slides.
