For this application we recommend the BRESSER Erudit DLX 40-1000x microscope in combination with a USB camera, e.g. the BRESSER MikroCam 1.3 MP. This solution offers better image quality and flexibility than a simple LCD microscope.

If you want to identify bacteria, it is usually more useful to create a culture. Microscopes are generally only sufficient to determine whether the bacteria are, for example, spherical or rod-shaped.
The Barlow lens is already installed in the eyepiece tube on many devices. It can be pulled out at the upper ridge to use the zoom function.
Possible causes:
 
  • Sample too thick / unsuitable: Use thin samples or fixed smears.
  • No cover glass or incorrect thickness: Objectives are optimized for cover glasses.
  • Condenser incorrectly adjusted: Do not open the diaphragm too far – otherwise contrast will be low.
  • Magnification too high: Rule of thumb: maximum 1000 × objective aperture. Example: With a 40x objective with aperture 0.65, the limit is about 650x.

BRESSER Set Microscope Slides
Slides and cover glasses are an indispensable accessory which has also impact on the image quality. For most biological microscopes, the cover glass thickness is an important optical parameter, which is therefore included in the optical design and, if so, printed on the sleeve of every objective. You can usually see the number 0.17 which is the thickness in millimeters. For demanding applications in the laboratory, or for microphotography, using cover glasses with the desired thickness and high quality is necessary.The cover glasses included in the set are made of Boro 3.3 glass and are standardized to a thickness of 0.16-0.19mm. So they match the desired 0.17mm really good and give the best possible image quality. These Boro 3.3 cover glasses are pure white, without streaks and are pre-cleaned and ready to use. They are also especially suitable for fluorescence microscopy.The slides are made of soda lime glass, and have ground edges for safe handling. They have a matte field for writing on both sides (top and bottom). Slides and cover glasses are packed separately and in a vacuum sealed bag, containing moisture absorbent. They can be stored for a long time without loss of quality from hydrolysis and are easy to take out.

BRESSER Microscope Researcher Trino 40-1000x with MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI camera and MINI HDMI screen (13.3")
A versatile combination set consisting of the Researcher Bino microscope and MikroCam Mini HDMI camera optimal for school, hobby, and profession. The robust Researcher Trino microscope impresses with its binocular view and allows for comfortable, precise work with clear, detailed images. Together with the MikroCam Mini HDMI camera, which can be directly mounted on the trinocular connection, the live image can be displayed directly on a monitor. It is therefore ideal for presentations, education, and leisure.The microscope in detailThe BRESSER Researcher Trino microscope is the best-selling BRESSER transmitted light microscope in the mid-price range due to its unbeatable price-performance ratio. It already provides impressive insights into the microcosm. The microscope image is sharp and high-contrast. With its solid metal body and wide magnification range of 40x-1000x, based on 4 objectives and a (replaceable) pair of eyepieces, the BRESSER Researcher meets high demands. The 40x and 100x objectives are spring-loaded to prevent damage, and the 100x objective can be used for oil immersion microscopy (immersion oil is included). The bright LED illumination is adjustable with a dimmer. The Abbe condenser is height-adjustable and centring, and equipped with an iris diaphragm. For perfect sharpness adjustment, coarse and fine focus are available, and for precise positioning of the specimen, a coaxial stage. The 360° rotatable binocular head allows for individual adjustment of the interpupillary distance and diopter compensation between the observer's eyes.Instead of a binocular head, the Trino Researcher has a trinocular head. This allows the user to observe with both eyes while simultaneously connecting a camera or PC eyepiece. Cameras from the MikroCam SP series and the MikrOkular Full HD can be used without further adapters. The trinocular tube can be set to be parfocal with the eyepieces.For special contrast methods, the Researcher microscope can be upgraded with a dark field condenser (dry or oil). The Researcher Trino is therefore the most affordable trinocular microscope that offers this possibility.Examination objects (example):BloodRotifers / Wheel animalsBacteriaParasitesPlants (thin sections)AlgaeSCOPE OF DELIVERY MICROSCOPETrinocular microscope1 pair of DIN eyepieces WF 10x with 23mm diameter4-fold objective turret4 DIN objectives: 4x/0.1, 10x/0.25, 40x/0.65, 100x/1.25 oilCondenserCross stage with Nonius scaleFine and coarse focusImmersion oilThe microscope camera in detailThe MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI is a particularly compact HDMI camera. A PC or laptop is not required to operate the camera; you can simply connect the MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI to an existing monitor, TV, projector, or smartboard. This makes it ideal for use in the classroom. Alternatively, a small monitor from BRESSER can also be mounted directly on the camera (see item no. 5914120).The HDMI connection is easy to make, and the camera is ready to use immediately. No software installation, PC setup, etc. is necessary. Due to the lossless data transmission, very good image quality is achieved, and the image is always displayed with a consistently high frame rate of 60 fps and without delay. This is particularly advantageous when a microscope workstation, for example, needs to be digitized in quality control or production.To control the camera, the included USB mouse is connected. This allows you to control the three menus (camera settings, measurement*, and display).*To take measurements with the camera, a calibration specimen is required (e.g., item no.: 5916710 or 5916720).The camera is also very suitable for presentations, as it operates in automatic mode when the mouse is not connected. The menus and mouse pointer are then not visible.Please note that a direct PC connection is not possible. An HDMI to USB video capture device is required for that. The USB port is only for controlling the camera with the mouse.FEATURES OF THE MICROSCOPE CAMERAHDMI connection for direct connection to a monitor, TV, projector, or smartboardC-Mount thread for easy adaptability to various microscopes (manufacturer-independent)Compatible with USB sticks or SD card readers (max. storage size: 512 GB)No PC/laptop necessarySCOPE OF DELIVERY MICROSCOPE CAMERAMikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI with C-Mount connectionPower supply (12 V / 2A)USB mouseHDMI cable (approx. 1.5 m)The display in detailThe Full HD display is the ideal complement to the BRESSER MikroCam Pro HDMI and MINI HDMIThe display can be mounted directly on the camera with an adjustable holder. The screen delivers brilliant images without artifacts, as the display has the same resolution as the output image of the camera. With the set of MikroCam and HDMI display, almost any trinocular microscope with camera connection can be upgraded to a digital microscope. This allows observation independently of a PC.The size of the display is optimally chosen so that the microscope user can microscope as usual while simultaneously viewing the image on the monitor. The display provides optimal image quality with a large viewing angle of 178°! This allows multiple people to view the image without loss of quality.The image from the microscope camera is always displayed on the HDMI screen without delay and with a high refresh rate of 60 FPS. Therefore, the representation via HDMI microscope camera on an HDMI monitor is usually of better quality than using a USB camera on a laptop or PC. This is particularly advantageous when work is to be carried out under microscopic control.Many users also benefit from improved ergonomics when the image can be viewed on the HDMI display. Especially higher magnifications with their high numerical aperture are uncomfortable for eye problems such as floaters. Digital viewing can provide relief here.The display can be powered with the included Y-cable using the same power supply as the camera. A suitable, short, angled HDMI cable is also included, so cable clutter at the workplace is avoided. The mounting on a MikroCam PRO or MINI is done using two screws. Screws and tools are included.FEATURES OF THE DISPLAY16:9 Full HD monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixelsActive area: 16.5 x 29.4 cmEasy mounting directly on a MikroCam PRO or MINILarge viewing angle (178°)No separate power supply necessarySCOPE OF DELIVERY13.3" displayHDMI cableY-cable for power supply via camera power supplyMounting screws (2 pieces)Hex keyOperating instructions
