Hello,
I'm looking for my first microscope, which will be a stereo
microscope. I''ve searched among major brands (Nikon, Olympus, Leica,
Zeiss...) and the only one that fit my budget (around 1000$) is the
Leica EZ4. Having looked at brochures, this microscope seems to be a
good product. I've also found that Motic (less-known brand) has one
from about 300$ less. Would you suggest me to get the Leica? I
wouldn't mind paying 300$ extra if it's for getting a good experience.
I know that a bad microscope could lead me to give up this hobby.
Also, the basic EZ4 comes with 10x eyepieces, which give magnification
of 8x to 35x. Upgrading to 16x eyepieces or more quickly raises the
price...Here's my second question: Will a magnification up to 35x be
useful to observe details that we don't see or have difficulty to see
with naked eyes? Would additional 15x magnification for couple
hundreds more be recommended? My only concern is that I don't want to
get a magnification/experience that could have been almost as good
with a cheap magnifying glass.
Thanks a lot.
i don't like the 'No removable parts for highest reliability and less chance
of broken or lost parts' characteristic: it's only good for educational
purposes
for 1300$ i've just ordered on ebay a new stereoscopic microscope (oem) with
Nikon SMZ645 optical system, two objectives, a trinocular head and an
external camera (2048 x 1536) usb interfaced
so my suggestion is: try ebay, from a trustworthy seller
.
