For this application we recommend the BRESSER Erudit DLX 40-1000x microscope in combination with a USB camera, e.g. the BRESSER MikroCam 1.3 MP. This solution offers better image quality and flexibility than a simple LCD microscope.

If you want to identify bacteria, it is usually more useful to create a culture. Microscopes are generally only sufficient to determine whether the bacteria are, for example, spherical or rod-shaped.
The Barlow lens is already installed in the eyepiece tube on many devices. It can be pulled out at the upper ridge to use the zoom function.
Possible causes:
 
  • Sample too thick / unsuitable: Use thin samples or fixed smears.
  • No cover glass or incorrect thickness: Objectives are optimized for cover glasses.
  • Condenser incorrectly adjusted: Do not open the diaphragm too far – otherwise contrast will be low.
  • Magnification too high: Rule of thumb: maximum 1000 × objective aperture. Example: With a 40x objective with aperture 0.65, the limit is about 650x.

The Microscope Camera in Detail

The BRESSER MikroCam SP cameras allow for easy capturing of photos and videos with a microscope.

The modern CMOS sensors deliver brilliant colors with very low image noise, making it the perfect solution for applications where natural color reproduction is important. The included capture software offers numerous settings for capturing still images and videos. An integrated measurement function* allows for measurement directly in the live image. The included software supports the following languages: German, English, French, Polish, Turkish, Chinese.

The housing features a C-Mount connection thread. For use on devices with a 23.2mm receptacle, an optional variable reduction optics 0.5x (Art. No. 5914005) is available. For special applications, the camera can also be mounted on the integrated 1/4” tripod thread.

*Only in conjunction with an optional calibration specimen (Art. No. 5916710 or 5916720)
