Microscopes

[hp468]

thanks.
this is very interesting.

"Scope, fuge, slides, etc are here. Wife found a cheap microscope camera as well so we gave it a shot."

where, specifically, did you/wife get all that?
please post the website address, street address, etc.

We ordered the scope from ebay, it was and open box sale on eBay. The same one @mj1angier reccomended along with the centrifuge. I think the slides were from Amazon as well. I’ll post a link to the eBay listing later if they still have them.

If your close to one of the college surplus retail stores, it would be worth checking there. None are near me and I haven’t had time for a 3-4 hour round trip to look around lately.

We got our scope off eBay. It came from the amscope store but it was an open box Omax, same one that was posted above.

We bought the same stain kit and also centrifuge that was listed above by @mj1angier

Slides we got off Amazon as well along with the solution.

We used cheap squirt bottles one for the solution to fill the test tube up with and the other to fill up another tube with water. We placed them across from each other to balance it out.
