I wish I knew of other CZcamsrs like you who could recommend equipment for other amateur science, like telescopes, chemistry kits, etc.
BTW there's a channel called catching photons, helped me a lot about telescopes and astrophotography.
Ed Ting astronomy videos.

Really appreciate this video - I almost fell for the marketing on the magnification and in researching found this video. Thank you again - I've subscribed and looking forward to viewing more videos.
i was looking for a magnifying glass at a pawn shop and picked up a decent omax scope for 200 bucks. after watching your video and finding the same scope online new for 1700 im pretty excited. thanks for the introduction to microscopy and the informative video
Thank you so much for a microscopic time!
Really help me made a decision as I'm looking to buy a microscope for my lab!
Have a good day, sir!
Thank you for the video. Really helped us for a start up company R&D. Please make more videos..
Thank you, you cleared everything up.
Thanks for the video. I've been getting into growing food and mushrooms. Although one can take a simple approach, I'm also fascinated by these living things and curious about how to make them thrive. I've started a terrarium also. First it was for snails I find outside (and hoping they reproduce) because I love escargot and why not? Well, their habitat that I've made for them will also benefit from some worms and rolly-pollies (that's the scientific term) that I've added that will help keep it clean. Then separately I've been doing some vermiculture because they make fantastic soil for growing food. Then there's making mushrooms: I made the most delicious shiitake mushrooms I've ever tasted with some kits I bought here in Japan. I want to try incubating substrate myself with spawn I cultivate myself. And I plan to do oyster mushrooms soon because they can grow off of a mix of sawdust and coffee grounds. Maybe I'll try to get some of those mushrooms that will eat plastic. Anyway, with all this I figure that being able to look at many of these things under the microscope will be fascinating and educational for myself. (Why did that potato plant die? Can I find the fungus/nematodes/bacteria that are the culprit?). Also, I have a small channel here on CZcams, so perhaps I will end up sharing some of it here. I would love to be able to record the microscope image with decent quality like you do. Thanks again.
I am so glad you put in the comment about the quality of current tools being so much better than those we had just a few years ago. The wealth of knowledge available to anyone who can get on the internet is astounding. I've been pleasantly surprised at the quality of observations that I can make on a simple USB microscope that I bought to look at circuit boards. Better to get exploring with something cheap than wait a long time for "just the right thing". Thank you for taking the time to make such a nice guide.
love the video. spoken from the heart, by someone who loves what he's doing (and knows it).
Thanks for your invaluable advice - Bought a microscope at a glance and I must admit I should have waited longer en studied more -- Thats what I will do. Thanks
Straight to the point and NO Nonsense Video. Awesome Sir. Thanks.

The best info so far!! made everything so much clearer!! THANK YPOUUUU!!
I have a second microscope channel and this one gives even more advice about microscopes:
czcams.com/channels/ZG2CV8y-tjzoy_zCsg2NJQ.html
Very beautifully and visually explained !!
2 years ago I started to delve into, and only into, kitchen knives or knives that are used in the food industry. This because I was frustrated every time I had my own knives sharpened by a sharpening service here in Ostend, Belgium, they were (temporarily) sharp and you could see the sharpening blades themselves in the edge. Way too rough work. Not a nice job. Starting to see on the Internet and the CZcams videos to, although I may say it myself, a very good sharpener. Started with Japanese water stones, Shapton's the pro series, Naniwa's both water-sucking and the splach and go's. Atoma and Dtm diamond stones and the WickedEdge and Tormek sharpening system, to the Natural Stones of Belgium (From here 200 km, 125 miles, Ardennes-Coticule.). Then started buying Japanese knives to learn for yourself and the demand for sharpening continued by word of mouth.
It's starting to grow out of the joints but I'm enjoying it! is currently in the phase where a Trinocular with variable zoom factor and camera port is needed. However, don't know any of that! I know the Trinocular and zoom function from what I have already read. Can you give me your attitude, if you are willing to, because it looks exactly what I need. (If you see some prices on the internet, yes hello). And don't have enough time ... who doesn't. You would do me a favor.

Philippe Myny
Love your videos! It reminds me of being in High-School and having dedicated teachers, passionate about supporting and invigorating the learning process in young minds.
hi kaneofdarkness have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
Extremely helpful, I had a hunch about most of the things you said though you confirmed all of it. The most important thing was the 160 and x4, x10, x40 information's you provided. Also the opinion you have on the oil x100 for starting out. Thanks a lot for your helpful video!
My 7 yo son recently asked me for a microscope so I'm researching them as I have no idea, this video is the first thing I've come across and I have to say that the information you present here is excellent. My takeaway from this is to buy a microscope as if I was buying him his first camera, I'm a photographer, I should get something decent that he can learn/grow with but it should have the functionalities of what would be considered standard on a microscope. Thanks for the info, great content.
FABULOUS!!!!!
Thank you for such an amazing informative video.
OK I watched and bought a used Leitz Wetzlar made in 1967. Bought 2 10x Eyepieces made by the same company. It is far better than anything I ever expected to own. Thanks for all the Video's.
Excellent. That was very helpful listening to while browsing to buy one :)
Thank you. Very worthwhile information.
Well explained thanks a lot
Very nice tutorial, helped a lot
I have watched this video so many times because it’s brilliant. Kind regards . Ken from Rutland, England.
Thanks for your info and your input on the microscopes.....it really helped ....I appreciate it...!!!!
Cheers....!!!!
great video. I'm very exited to look at microbes though my own microscope
Excellent video. Thank you. It's been a long time since I took microbiology and now I have kids in elementary school that I'd like to teach some things, but I really needed a refresher.
Thanks you for some sensible advice.
Thank you, Sir, for the great advice on the essential features of a decent microscope! It was a pleasure to listen to your explanations and descriptions. Best wishes for your research and studies!
Thank you for your advice 😀
Be great to see some follow up vids. Usb, disecting, petroscope etc.
Nice videos! How come i didnt find your chanel before.. Do you plan on doing video on staining? I already bought a scope
Hello, really like your channel, thank you for the good information!! I have a question- one might want certain features more importantly than others depending on what it's mainly going to be used to view, right? If so, which features are most important in a microscope to be used mostly to see fungus, mold, bacteria, yeast, viruses..? I have been using a cheap digital microscope for a while now & it has much limitations for seeing those things! Lastly, what are some of the best brands to look for? Thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for your honest and full of knowledge review that you have gained from your true experience, I wish that there are more people like you in this world. I hope you have a great and happy life.
Excellent guide, covered all main points very clearly, you should write a book on the subject.
A brilliant and easily-understood video which has definitely helped me in choosing my first microscope. Thank you Microbehunter :)
Please check the videos of my other channel as well for even more microscopy info:

Yes, sir. thank you for the information.
I have never seen a better presentation and explanation of a product. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much for the knowledge you just shared all of that is looks so reasonable from your words, which is not so common to find out here.. once again thx
Honest explanation. Good & informative.👍😊🙏
Great video! Thank you !
Must see channel if you have a microscope 💖❤️♥️. Thank you for all the help.
Excellent and educational video, thank you.
Thanks for making this inspired video. I am looking for a microscope and your video helps me in my search. I have subscribed to your channel too!
Best video on microscopes I've seen
I LOVE that lead with "the single greatest criteria." Thank you for not burying the lead and convoluting your message with "story" and/or "background." You are concise, on point, and speaking with authority of your knowledge. Thank you. Thank you.
I have another channel now, which deals with microscope buying advice etc. czcams.com/users/microbehunter-microscopy
@@Microbehunter Thank you. I subscribed to your other channel.
I appreciate your reminder of "this is a hobby and we should get one we feel like using" ^^. I liked this video. Thank you a lot and have fun !
When I was in medical school I used a single eyepiece microscope. With some practice (not a lot) one can leave the non viewing eye open and the viewing eye sees the image--> not tiring.
Same as with gunsights
yes it's the same with ironsights, using your primary eye
Very nice presented video. Congratulations!
Superb video. V helpful tips
I just entered this hobby expecting a lot of searching to do … but after watching your video I feel I educated enough to actually buy one . .
Thanks man🙏
I bought a Bresser Researcher Binocular microscope for about 350€ and I love it! I use an adapter to hold my phone for videos and it seems to work pretty well. I cant quite get the quality of videos you make, but its still immensely enjoyable 😁
thank you. easy to fall in a rabbit hole when you're considering a relatively big purchase. we just don't wanna get screwed over spending our hard earned money on something we know little about
Very helpful intro.
@ 18:35 you had "money which was burning a hole in your pocket".
Great video, I see there's a lot of information on cheaper beginner/budget units, do you have any higher end microscopes to recommend in the market at the moment?
Danke - Merci - Thank you!!!! So helpful
Great! Thank you!
Thank you very much! You are my hero! :)
I have a Leitz Mikroscope that has only one focus knob ( bought this from a doctor ) this knob has the abillity to fine focus as well .
this is perfect. I am trying to see if its possible to buy a microscope and slides for viewing the structures of a neuron
Thx you so much man.
