| What makes your microscope cool? | Cool features of my microscope include: Binoccular viewing Separate Camera occulus Rotating eyepiece assembly Geared fine-tuning XY position of slide 5 objective lenses: 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 100x (combined with the 10x eyepiece, of course, this produces 40x, 100x, 200x, 400x, and 1000x light magnification) Semi plan objectives Plan objectives for 1000x (oil) and phase contrast Separate phase contrast capability Darkfield condenser assembly Built in white LED illumination High resolution digital/video camera connected directly to my PC |
| What is this sample slide collection thing you have? | This is a set of professionally prepared high quality biology sample slides. 2 boxes of 100 each. The cover a wide range of what you would typically look at under a microscope. |
| Can you answer biology related questions so that I don't have to read my textbook, basically, do my homework for me? | Why do people keep asking me this. Not only am I not an expert in biology, I also don't even play one on TV. I think biology is cool and I've got a cool website to prove it, but it doesn't make me an expert. Besides, I've got better things to do than your homework. |
| If I send you a slide can you look at it on the microscope and generate some pictures from it? | Yes, I COULD... but that doesn't mean that I will. Besides, there is some potential danger in SOME stuff being sent through the mail, etc. If you do have an interesting sample, already mounted in a slide, but lack the ability to photograph them under a microscope, I could potentially be induced to assist. Email me details of what you have. Remember, it has to be mounted and sealed. Just a wet mount or a loose sample isn't an option. |
