The Why and What of Koehler Illumination
มุมมอง 1.5K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
Many explanations of the role of the condenser lens in microscopes state that the condenser focuses light on to the sample. The truth is really that the condenser concentrates the light on the sample with perfectly de-focuses light. And that was the huge benefit at the time. Today, with advanced light sources and efficient diffusers, even cheap microscopes can produce sufficiently homogeneous i...

What makes Vorticella so fast?
มุมมอง 251ปีที่แล้ว
Vorticella is a bell-shaped organism and commonly possesses a slender stalk that is strongly fixed to a solid matrix. The speed of Vorticella that we’re talking about is of course the extraordinary reeling in of the cell body by the stalk. What is in the stalk that facilitates this contraction is a structure known as the spasmoneme The spasmoneme (or also called the myoneme) extends the length ...

Why Euglena are fascinating!! They really are!!!
The LED 3w/5v from Motic article no. 45358 / 1-h-008-03 fits perfectly. It can be replaced directly. Works very well
Great review, even if sometime it's hard to properly evaluate the image quality (with TH-cam compression) Vs what we have at home. I have a SWIFT380B that I got new/open box on Amazon for 150$ us (203$ canadian, shipping next day included). I really like it! I've got a 20X and 60X dry (15$ each or 20$ canadian). I wish one day, amateur microscopy will be as popular as amateur astronomy! *All price in 2024
Awesome!
Thank you for your informative video. I have a Z6 but I own an Olympus BH-2 Microscope with a Binocular Head, does your setup work with my microscope? Thank you for your prompt response.
👍
I'd love to see image comparisons with a more affordable microscope. Here in the UK that BA310E is now about £2,300. That's an awful lot of money. I'd be really intrugued to see what more it gets image-wise than say your £450 Amscope T340.
What microscope is this?
I need a microscope that includes everything listed here, with an integrated camera and software. If you have the microscopes I inquired about, please send them. The microscope should be suitable for cell counting, cell culture live imaging, microorganism identification (including bacteria, fungi, viruses), plant pathology, soil microorganism analysis, detailed plant imaging, large sample observation, and visibility of plant leaves, roots, stems, and disease identification ( any company name sir)
can i get a microscope pleaseeeeee
I love the image quality..How did you find it or how do you grow bacteria feeding nematodes or fungal feed and omnivores nematodes?
What is the diameter of the Motic tube that slides into the T670 trinocular photo port?
Cool video...i work in a pathology lab and occasionally take microscope photos by using phone camera pointed into ocular at a certain angle. Any idea if the Z macro lens pointed into ocular would work? Have been wanting to try, just never got around to it. While your setup is awesome, I'm not wanting to spend the $ for something I'll occasionally use.
Thanks
Exactly what do you mean by having a hard time getting a piece of lint off of it? Do you mean focusing?
This is lovely! Are some of it captured on darkfield objectives? What microscope are you using for these?
which microscope + camera are you using to capture this?
This was a little confusing it sounded like you said the objectives are the same as what you see on scopes as little as $300...this is absolutely incorrect. 3:20. CCIS EC Plan Achromat lenses alone cost much more than that.
@zoominmicroscopy A very good presentation. I'm having trouble finding my recorded videos. I'm also lost in assigning an external SS memory for longer recordings (time laps). If you, or anyone else can help me with these problems I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance and please keep up the great work.
We are saving up for a new class microscope, nothing as expensive as this. If anybody would like to help we would appreciate
Hi, thank you for the video, I'm thinking of getting one, by any chance do you know wthat's the difference between MU503B and MU503? Many thanks, regards!
Im on windows, and download the latest version of the equivalent software from the amscope page, but it looks that needs some drivers (directshow and twain), do you know by any chance where can i get those?
thank you! Excellent presentation!
The human eye has the equivalent of 576 megapixels. So the microscope and camera will always be the limiting factor.
Cool. Its with the motic ba340E? What zoom lens? And what camera you using? Tnx :)
Thank you for the video. I purchased this model as a result of this review.
This is a very beautiful explanation. Thank you sir
xxxxxxxx
The image actually looked really nice. But also very small. Even with the Nikon Z shooting at FHD and 4k, if we want the image at full view (ie, taking up all the space of the monitor, in a rectangular shape) would we loose a lot of resolution by having to crop from withing that small circle? Thanks for the super clear explanation in you videos. Very helpful!!❤
Hi ! I am looking to buy this microscope and I am wondering if the trinocular is only compatible with a Motic camera. Do you think it would be possible to take images with my own camera if I manage to attach the camera to the microscope ? Or I would need some lenses ? Right now, I have a little binocular and I take my pictures and video with my own camera in the eye ocular and it works well. I would like to keep using my camera instead of buying a new one if possible. Do you think it would work ? Thank's in advance ! ^^
Love it. Where is Episode 4? Can't wait. Thanks
Hi, how is it compared to the SWIFT Stellar 1?
Thanks for this!
Wieso muss denn beim Koehlern der Kondensor zentriert werden. Seine optisch Achse sollte doch in jedem Fall mit der optischen Achse des Objektives uebereinstimmen und nicht mehr veraendert werden. Wohl aber sollte die Leuchtfeldblende zentrierbar sein. Das bedingt auch immer eine zentrierbare Punktlichtquelle.
I have a hard time finding anything good in the China microscope brands, even though they appear to have nice designs on the surface, when you dig deeper they all seem to have major shortcomings. So I'm leaning towards saving up for a used Leica or Olympus microscope.
While you are searching, do not dismiss Meiji microscopes (made entirely in Japan) that utilize metal gears and, in my opinion, feature a far superior build quality as compared with Chinese scopes.
@@edwardcatingGreat tip! Thanks I will consider Meiji. Would you happen to know the major differences between Meiji MT5300H and Leica DMLS? On the surface they appear to be somewhat similar (I haven’t looked in depth yet)
@@ddbear8786 I do not. My Meiji is the MT4200L for basic brightfield.
Thanks for the tip edward! I ended up buying a used Meiji MT5300H. It appears the lab was selling it because it had a broken on/off switch which I easily replaced. What do you think of this model?@@edwardcating
Nice to see this -- I recently bought a BA310E myself and am looking forward to creating lots of new videos with it in 2024. Glad to discover you here and looking forward to getting to know you better.
I just picked up a used American Optical 50 microscope and as far as I have been able to find out, this scope is probably around fifty years old. It is a great scope and has features I am slowly getting use to. I have found that different lighting techniques make a world of difference when viewing specimens. I'm having fun designing filters and seeing how they change the view. I will be exploring your channel for tips and ideas, so thank you for doing this.
Could you please tell us what camera you have attached to the phototube.

Is there a follow up video on the quality of the images? I've seen your previous videos, with a different microscope, where you show a slide image and how it goes in and out of focus as the stage is moved in the X - Y directions etc .
Hi I am currently trying to buy one of the 4 microscopes: AmScope T340B-DK-LED-3PL for 509 euro it has 3W bright LED light and dry darkfield condenser AmScope T490B-DK-3PL for 532 euro OMAX M837ZL-A191-3PL for 509 euro it has replaceable 3W LED transmitted light with adjustable intensity, dry darkfield NA 0.7-0.9 and brightfield Abbe NA1.25 condensers included. SWIFT Stellar 1 Pro-B for 430 euro its not trinocular but it has good quality objectives Semi plan objectives, mechanical table and Ultra Precise Focusing The Stellar 1 Pro B is cheaper from both and contain better objectives but not sure about the LED light in comparison to AmScopes do you think should I jump into Stellar pro just for the better optics ?
I can't knock your taste in music.
I find that photographing large organisms with a compound microscope has its own special set of challenges. Im wondering if you used low power objectives on a compound microscope, or if you used a stereo microscope. Thank you for sharing your work.
I generally use the 10x and 20x lenses for filming these. Sometimes I’ll zoom in with the 40x, but the shallow depth of field make viewing the deep organisms a challenge indeed. Do you have a stereo scope? I’ve been thinking of getting one, but I don’t have much experience with them.
@@zoominmicroscopy I have a stereo microscope. It's an older Russian scope. It has the Lomo label, however, I'm convinced they relabeled it from another Russian company. At it's low power, it's actually pretty good. At it's higher power ranges, it's obvious that it is only achromatic - it then needs to be used with the supplies yellow/green filters to have a sharp image. I suspect that many if not most of the modern stereo scopes coming out of China are optically better. I was able to get mine with a 35mm camera mount. Many modern scopes seem to only come with C mounts for video. I'd study review videos before deciding if I wanted another one.
@jimzielinski946 thanks!!!
@@zoominmicroscopy for filming take a look at the TOMLOV digital microscopes i found them better than the stereoscope. Stereo scope is really good for observing with the eye but when trying to film it was not good as you lose the 3D effect. I bought a £400 stereo scope and have since donated it to the local school and went with a £140 TOMLOV for larger critters. Think mine is the DM401 Pro with a 10inch screen
@garycroftsmicroscopy thank you very much!!!
Is the footage of the rotifer sped up? Or are their cilia really moving that fast?
They’re really moving that fast! I found their speed amazing!!!
Attempted to convert critical Illumination to Koehler Illumination. 나는 임계 조명을 Koehler 조명으로 바꾸는 재미있는 시도를 하고 있습니다. 영어는 구글이 작성함. I am trying to change the critical Illumination to a Koehler Illumination. The eyepieces and objectives can be upgraded, but the lighting system is fixed from the time of purchase and cannot be changed. Illumination has a huge impact on the microscope and cannot be overlooked. You can find many descriptions of the benefits and features of Koehler Illumination, but they cannot be reproduced at all in a critical illumination microscope. LEDs have some advantages over halogen lights, but the light It is poor in terms of uniformity and spectrum. If you use a 4x objective lens and remove the diffuser, you can immediately see that the combination of critical Illumination and LED is the worst Illumination system. Although the diffuser masks many of the weaknesses of critical Illumination, Since the cost of upgrading to a system other than brightfield observation is high and almost impossible, improving the illumination for brightfield observation seems beneficial. In the comparison of critical illumination and Koehler illumination, the focal length of the collector lens is different and a separate field aperture is used. You can see that there is.여기 영어 이상하네 Even if I leave the aperture for later, I was curious about what would happen if I changed the focal length of the lens, so I tried a simple experiment. To change the focal length, the collimation lens of the led flash was additionally placed below the condenser filter holder, and I confirmed that various characteristics that occur under Koehler lighting appear. Feature 1. Very even Illumination is achieved without a diffuser. Feature 2. the condenser aperture is opened, the light does not fade and the contrast is maintained. Feature 3. When I remove the eyepiece and look at the microscope barrel, a clear image of the LED is formed on the back focal plane of the objective. Additionally, the shape of the condenser aperture is clearly visible. Feature 4. Assuming that a field aperture is installed, when an obstacle approaches an appropriate location, a clear aperture shape appears. After checking various features and returning to the critical illumination state, all these features disappear immediately. So, I am sure that I changed from critical Illumination to Koehler Illumination. So, did the Illumination system change smoothly to a different system with just one additional lens? No. Some problems have not been resolved. First of all, darkfield observation using the darkfield patch is not possible at all. And there is little change even when the aperture of the condenser is opened. Light should be widely illuminated at the aperture at the bottom of the condenser. It is suspected that the light is intercepted by the additional lens that was added and illuminated in a small area. It's good that I discovered the possibility, but I still need to experiment further.
You deserve WAY more views! Helped me so much with my undergrad optics :)
Thank you so much!!!!
How’d you find it? I have yet to find one …
This one came from my aquarium, where I place my collections from hiking trips.
Have you tried cross polarized light? Amoebas are usually harder to see in bright field but their inserts glow in polarized light making them much easier to spot.
@@MarcosScope Thanks, I have polarization filters, I will try that. yesterday I realized that I’ve seen lots of Testate amoeba shells, didn’t know what they were. I’ll start by taking a closer look at those.
I haven't. Thanks for the suggestion!!!@@MarcosScope
Nice very nice
Thanks so much!!!
Absolutely beautiful video.
Thank you very much!!!!
How’d you find it?
I have an aquarium in which I put water, moss, plants that I collect while hiking. The amoeba came from the aquarium, so I don't know what the original source was.
