Not only bacterias and fungus are seen in the microscope. Not only this kinds of things even the insects that is very small also can be seen through this.

Question Microscope Used

Very nice photo - I would like to be able to take photos like that - very inspiring!

We are attempting to buy a scope with camera but do not know what we really need. We are both inexperienced accept for a little HS/college scope use.

Can you inform as to scope brand/Model used for taking this picture as well as camera?

TY

Hi Ty,

The microscope is a Nikon with a darkfield condenser and the camera is a USB-CMOS 1.3 mp with a photo adapter. There are a variety of ways you could do similar things with different equipment. Good equipment leads to good results.
