raspberry pi cameras are about as small as the eye piece.and last I checked they had like 8-12mp cameras. Someone smart could make a custom eye piece for the camera and it would be better than these 2mp ones currently on the market.

The waveyness is from rolling shutter. The camera isnt reading the whole frame in one go, its reading it from top to bottom a row of pixels at a time. This means if the camera moves it'll give a bend in the image - same thing happens if you try to take a video of something moving quickly with a cheapish camera.

You should try the foldscope

Excellent video! You have a customer. This is how videos should be done.

[@philhunt1442]

Are there any microscopes the I can change the batteries. Those rechargeables don't last much longer that the one year warranty before they stop charging.

[@user-th7gd7ge4p]

the red/white/black colourful ones are advertised on ebay as electron microscopes

[@weebo1926]

nice

[@mstcrow5429]

They are electron microscopes. They are optical, using light. They just don't scan electrons.

[@user-nu4uq8xz9c]

You should try the xsz-107bn microscope

[@stephenmacartney]

What's the USB microscope you used here?

[@ahmadqamar-yc4pl]

Sir please compare your standard microscope like b120c or sw380t to research 1000 dollar microscope or zeiss one to help us to let know how much picture quality difference it makes

I would like to get a cheap microscope for home personal use but i don't want to get those nikon or olympus microscope too expensive. I am a haematology medical technologist by training so i want to get a cheaper version microscope that can view peripheral blood smear 40x. And if there is 100x lens would be good. If not it is fine

[@littlehamster83]

Can you like please advice me which microscope can work for blood smear to see 40x lens wbc etc...

[@flightsim_clips495]

@@littlehamster83for me I did blood smear for personal use with a trinicular swift microscope (compound light) I forget which model but it’s a good scope

[@elduro755]

Try Umco or Amscope, those are chineese but they can help and are cheaper than Zeiss, Nikon etc

[@ajboos-qz8wl]

Could this also be suitable for examining cat hair?

[@guywilliams5687]
