Which microscope to buy?
I would like to see as much as possible just for fun: bacteria, cells, plant cells, blood. I was always very interested and would like to explore.
Probably I would need 1000X or more to see cells.
Which model to buy to see the most and not pay the fortune?
On EBay I see these:
* AmScope Model No: M100C-LED: 40X-1000X STUDENT BIOLOGICAL FIELD MICROSCOPE +LED LITE
* AmScope Model No: B100: 40X-1000X BIOLOGICAL BINOCULAR COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
* XG619B: Compound Monocular Microscope 40X-1000X w WF25 Eyepiece
* 50X-1000X compound biology microscope mechanical stage
What are my best options? What should I be looking for?
The magnification level is not the only factor. You need excellent optics in order to get good resolution at 1000X, If not, you will see close up but you will see nothing but blurs. You are better off staying at 100-400X, as decent 10X-40X objectives are much more economical than the 100X objectives you are considering.
