FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Product information "BRESSER MikroCam SP 3.1 Microscope Camera"

The BRESSER MikroCam SP microscope cameras help to make photos and videos with a microscope very easy.

The modern CMOS sensors  give brilliant colors with very low noise and is the perfect choice for any application where true natural colors are important. The included imaging software has multiple adjustments for the capture of still images and videos. The integrated measuring* routine allows for a measurement in the camera live image. The software can be operated in the following languages: German, English, French, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese. The camera housing includes the c-mount adapter thread. For use with 23,2mm adaptations, we recommend the optional, variable 0,5x reducer (item no. 5914005). For special applications the camera can also be mounted using the 1/4” camera tripod thread.

BRESSER Analyth STR Trino 10x - 40x Trinoculary Stereo Microscope with Incident and Transmitted Light
The Analyth STR Trino has 3 different objective magnifications that can be changed simply by turning the objective. This means that the magnifications 10x, 20x and 40x can be changed directly. The stereo design shows structured objects particularly vividly and three-dimensionally. The low,10x initial magnification is particularly suitable for working with children. Objects up to 20mm in size can be viewed in their entirety. The Analyth STR is therefore particularly flexible to use. It is suitable for insects, plants, minerals and much more and has its areas of application in hobby, school and work. The stereomicroscope can be used for quality control, in horticulture and agriculture, for hydrology and much more. The trinocular tube enables the comfortable connection of a camera. The microscope is compatible (depending on the adapter) for microscope cameras, SLR and system cameras. Ask us which adapter you need. The interpupillary distance and dioptric compensation are individually adjustable. The eyepieces have a large field of view of 20mm. They are equipped with removable rubber eyecups and secured against removal. The microscope can be powered either with the mains adapter or with 3 batteries (not included). This means that it can also be used on the move, for example outside in the garden or on an excursion. PROPERTIES Microscope with 3 pairs of objectives, objective magnifications 1x; 2x; 4x Wide field eyepieces with eyecups and 20mm field of view Trinocular tube with 23.2mm mount Bright, economical LED illumination Illumination for incident and transmitted light can be switched separately Dimmer via membrane keys with status display Two specimen plates (black/white or glass matt), with specimen clips Dust cover Operating instructions Stand with LED illumination, separately or jointly switchable or dimmable SCOPE OF DELIVERY Microscope with 3 magnifications, 10x; 20x; 40x Trinocular tube Metal stand with LED illumination, power supply and battery compartment 2 eyepieces with rubber eyecups Glass object plate Plastic object plate (black/white) Dust cover Operating instructions

BRESSER Set Microscope Slides
Slides and cover glasses are an indispensable accessory which has also impact on the image quality. For most biological microscopes, the cover glass thickness is an important optical parameter, which is therefore included in the optical design and, if so, printed on the sleeve of every objective. You can usually see the number 0.17 which is the thickness in millimeters. For demanding applications in the laboratory, or for microphotography, using cover glasses with the desired thickness and high quality is necessary.The cover glasses included in the set are made of Boro 3.3 glass and are standardized to a thickness of 0.16-0.19mm. So they match the desired 0.17mm really good and give the best possible image quality. These Boro 3.3 cover glasses are pure white, without streaks and are pre-cleaned and ready to use. They are also especially suitable for fluorescence microscopy.The slides are made of soda lime glass, and have ground edges for safe handling. They have a matte field for writing on both sides (top and bottom). Slides and cover glasses are packed separately and in a vacuum sealed bag, containing moisture absorbent. They can be stored for a long time without loss of quality from hydrolysis and are easy to take out.
