Four Amazing Microscope Techniques on One Condenser

In the lab with a pen and a pad! Figuring out new little tricks as Diet Tom's continues to spool up! I posted some more information about how I did this on the Microbe Hunter forums - check it out if you're curious: www.microbehun...

Hey guys, I’ll be pushing out an official “channel update” video this weekend. In the meantime, the Discord is POPPIN and I’m usually around. Plus there’s secret content and early video premieres there ;) Come hang out! discord.com/invite/gywcwPeHk7

This is my first time seeing a Pinnularia Viridis but now they're easily my favorite. They look like little microscopic busses transporting nutrients alongside the big algae highways.

How did you get the colorful background at 7:54. Also are all these backgrounds achievable for a microscope with a fixed condenser ? Something like Swift 350B

Id give my left hand for a DIC scope 😂. Great post 👏🏾✊🏾

That's Awesome! How much is the equip you used in this video?

[@diettoms]

😬😬😬 A fair bit haha! I try not to do the mental math or it'll make me hesitant to keep improving. Biggest contributors to cost are the camera (Sony FX3), the BH2 DIC kit, and the turret full of PlanApo objectives. Like any other hobby, "enthusiast" gear costs a lot more than "pretty darn good" gear. You can do solid video microscopy on a budget of 300-500 dollars and excellent microscopy on a budget of

@@diettoms We would be able to appreciate the "absolute highest quality" a LOT more if you would stay on an image more than approximately 1/2 second. I find it very hard to view your content the way you bounce around what you are trying to show.
