I Miller Microscopes did not pay me for this video: but they gave me the microscope to keep, for free, regardless of what the review says. Therefore, I may have an unconscious bias in favor of the Leica. Keep this in mind anytime someone is reviewing a device for TH-cam they got for free. For this reason, I had Paul conduct the review. Also, Blackberry says.... meow.
i use a leica on a daily basis and it doesnt look like that. it looks more like your amscope. i have the feeling for just 1600$ you get toy grade stuff from leica. I work in a lab and the high end leica stuff is dope. But it has nothing to do with the black thingy you are reviewing... Edit: Furthermore the Eyepieces i use are switchable like the ones from your amscope, and its a standart formfactor, they are switchable with our Carl Zeiss Microscopes for example. No idea what leica is doing on the prosumer market but this looks like a totally different brand to me, not the leica i am used to !!!
The cats of the world are thankful for the review. These tools help the flat butt warmers with strange black squares continue working so it can stay warm. The butt warmer also has the added benefit that lying on it, calls upon the attention of the servant which again means it's of utmost importance that it will continue working.
The problem that Paul explains about the Leica double image sounds like he didn't adjust the interpupillary distance for his eyes. That's some basic thing in using a stereo microscope.
I believe you guys have no idea of the impact you have done to the global repair industry, you have all of us scrambling all over the world buying the tools you use for the reasons you give, I for one, am going through all the lengths required to import an Amscope microscope to my country, lots of weight to deal with that heavily increase import costs by the way
This is actually one of the budget Leica scopes. The eyepieces are fixed (you can not swap them) The 3D image effect you are seeing is likely due to incorrectly set interpupilary distance (see manual here: www.leica-microsystems.com/fileadmin/downloads/Leica%20A60%20S/User%20Manuals/Leica_A60S_Manual_EN.pdf) If camera is important there are modular systems available which would suit much better and give you full flexibility over objectives, stands and cameras, including wireless options that will stream directly do your iPad or phone and do not require a trinocular head. Contact your dealer or better Leica directly and they will take you through all options.
Hey Louis, buy some high CRI (90+) 3000K-4000K led strips that has matching led chips with the ones on your amscope, and replace them! You can definitely buy bare chips but the high CRI strips are easier to reliably find on amazon and aliexpress. I should also warn you that generally cold/pure white (~6000K) are recommended in workplaces to keep you awake and concentrated, but also warm light is much more easier to the eyes. CRI rating is a little bit luxury for your application since you dont do any color sensitive work but that luxury doesnt come at a great expense so why not.
Ahahahahaha you changed your name! I love it! Hello, Blackberry! Your human slave who buys your cat food is very dutiful to you indeed, Blackberry. You are such a devious little kitten.
That flat image is all I ever see. Blind in my left eye. So I use two different magnifications in my scope. It is something i have to get used to working with because I don't have the parallax vision. I have the single arm AM scope and haven't found it unstable at all.
I was watching the previous video, (Extremely Complex) and saw the comment requesting you change the name. I thought, it would be hilarious if you actually did change the name. Someone saw the notification cross my phone screen, and the look on their face was priceless. LOL.
Just looking at the build quality of the Amscope versus the Leica, and I know immediately which one I would rather purchase. The price difference is just a bonus. The thing about Leica is that they're a boutique optics company, and they have a pretty well deserved reputation for outstanding optics. However, I do feel that they are often selling the Leica name rather than offering a decent value proposition. And they tend to place a premium on their name.
It seems that the AmScope is better in nearly every way. The stand snuffs the Lieca, the price is way better, the image itself isn't that much better. Idk I dont use them everyday but the superior boom stand and the trinoc port sells me on the AmScope.
I had the same problem with the double image with the amscope. It turned out to be the head was at an angle and once I leveled the head, the double vision went away.
I don't think it is balls so much as it is perhaps a marketing department that hasn't done a lot of research. I use a microscope for work everyday that I recommend that is virtually the same quality, better stand, plus a trinocular port that costs $1000 less. It would not have taken a lot of work to figure out how we would see the two.
I think the AmScope suffers from chromatic aberration away from the center of image. The Leica image looks much better. But the Leica's stand, boom, and head adjustment design is lacking. IMO
That is paid what would you say if it is not paid lol i appreciate your honesty, i guess leica has microscope head with full hd camera installed inside with super sharp high quality image
You do electronic repair put warmer LEDs in the light you have. They are easy to install and cheap. Big Clive is my go to spot for dumb duh fixes like this.
You can get better 3D-depth image on Amscope by using 0,7 Barlow Lens instead of 0,5. Of course the working distance will be reduced but for me remains sufficient plus you have much beter depth.
Speaking of 3d, if you could somehow put cameras on each eyepiece and make little vr type repair videos it would be quite novel. Waste of time, sure, but who else does it?
The lieca looked like a better picture it was more clear. But that bar on it looks crappie couldnt they use some type of hydraulic system so you can just push and pull into place without the tightening nobs
I forgot to mention that I have an Amscope SM745TP at home and it's terrible compared to Leica in terms of fatigue and clarity. Of course the microscopes we use at work are Leica MZ6(older model).
The Leica looks better through the eyepiece at least from what you're recording. Looks like you guys would prefer the A60 F with the flex arm instead of the swing arm S model.
LOOL, as I just woke up I was so confused who this channel is untill like 5 min later I finally realized its rossman hahahahahahahaha I guess he changed channel name?
Leica camera are always more expensive. I would not expect a cheap price for their microscope from them. That being said, they like the market themselves as a selling simple to use devices.
Google is not giving enough bandwidth to this channel. It's impossible to watch this in greater than 140 without it constantly studdering. I notice a few other channels that do this. they do it consistently. No problems on any other higher traffic channels.
Damn, I had forgotten how much I had missed Paul's comments and differing insights into things. Hope you and your family and friends are doing well during this bloody COVID-19 storm Paul. This also applies to all the Rossmann Group employess, their families and friends and includes Anel even though..... Hope we eventually get to see and hear more from you in the near future Paul. Thank You!

I see... So you haven't _completely_ sold out lol
profile picture just changed! lol :-)
I just have one thing to say to Blackberry...

You really shouldn't type whatever blackberry tells you Louis. The "M word" isn't appropriate for youtube, that's their word.. . Demonetized

I’m glad you fixed the channel name. I wondered why you had it wrong for so long.
Don't delay, Meow today.
Lol ok
Meow.

the absolute madman *renamed the channel*

At last the channel has been relinquished to its rightful owner
Blackberry gotta make that cash money.
He actually changed it...
Lol right

Blackberry makes her presence felt and graciously allows a microscope review to posted on her channel.
I appreciate your commitment to honest reviews
March 9, 2019: Louis renames his channel in honor of his true love Blackberry.

Is the name change permanent?
Yes.
@@rossmanngroup Actually I'm not even upset. Maybe on the way to BlackberryGroup next?
Paul has a real good focus on being economical. That is a nice quality to have in an employee.
Aw, I thought this was actually going to be Blackberry reviewing the microscope, lol.
To me there is no comparison, the AmScope is superior in every way including price. Thanks for the review guys, keep up the great vids.

What's interpupilary distance ?
Please, explain !
Finally, you changed the channel name to better reflect the new content we'll be seeing here.
oh you made it KNOWN its paid review

after finishing the video i take my word back, i didnt know the amscope light 144 chips on it lol
You actually changed the name 😂
He actually did it. The mad man.
Ahahahahaha you changed your name! I love it! Hello, Blackberry! Your human slave who buys your cat food is very dutiful to you indeed, Blackberry. You are such a devious little kitten.

that title was very scary. great to see you're being as transparent as ever though :)
This channel has taken a turn for the bizzarre since he hurt his head in the bike accident
I was watching the previous video, (Extremely Complex) and saw the comment requesting you change the name. I thought, it would be hilarious if you actually did change the name. Someone saw the notification cross my phone screen, and the look on their face was priceless. LOL.
For a second I thought I accidentally subscribed to the wrong channel.

I had the same problem with the double image with the amscope. It turned out to be the head was at an angle and once I leveled the head, the double vision went away.
They've got some REAL balls to send Rossmann something for review, showing they at least have some confidence behind their product lol
I don't think it is balls so much as it is perhaps a marketing department that hasn't done a lot of research.
I use a microscope for work everyday that I recommend that is virtually the same quality, better stand, plus a trinocular port that costs $1000 less. It would not have taken a lot of work to figure out how we would see the two.

You do electronic repair put warmer LEDs in the light you have. They are easy to install and cheap. Big Clive is my go to spot for dumb duh fixes like this.
Every paid review should have this info in the title! As a side note I would like to welcome our new cat overlords.

Don't worry about the image not showing up on camera. For me at least, I kind of get what the difference is.
If you get a better arm you'll be using it the most. The strain on the eyes is critical if you are doing micro work full time.
Leica is a better microscope hands down. The image quality is superior. I have Leica microscopes at work.
I forgot to mention that I have an Amscope SM745TP at home and it's terrible compared to Leica in terms of fatigue and clarity. Of course the microscopes we use at work are Leica MZ6(older model).
Holy shit you actually did it
The Leica looks better through the eyepiece at least from what you're recording. Looks like you guys would prefer the A60 F with the flex arm instead of the swing arm S model.
Where is it made?
All other Leica products I know are made in Europe and Japan.
My Amscope is due to be delivered tomorrow, from flea bay for 439.99, I went the way of Paul Daniels for the camera mount.
Ca you fit the Leica light on your other microscope?
leica has clear image, by amscope i saw blur on the right side.
Well I guess you're confirming what we guessed all along. The channel is moving over to cat videos exclusively.
Louis...your fuckin awesome! Love the channel name man...just pure cool!
6:55 isn't that what happens when the distance between the two eyes doesn't match the one of the microscope?
Good. Moar cats moar bettar. I approve this channel now.
The clarity if the leica was far better than the amscope though if that matters. 1000 Spacebucks worth?
10:55 havent had that in vr
that beeing said i also didnt quite experience most of the drawbacks other than door screen

Haven't you already done a review on this microscope?
LOOL, as I just woke up I was so confused who this channel is untill like 5 min later I finally realized its rossman hahahahahahahaha I guess he changed channel name?
Damn! You really did it! :O
what should i use to clean the surface of the lense of a microscope or like a DSLR camera lense
just isopropyl?
No. I would buy some lens cleaner solution, and use a microfiber cloth.
alright thank you Louis
Leica camera are always more expensive. I would not expect a cheap price for their microscope from them. That being said, they like the market themselves as a selling simple to use devices.
Lewis: “Around $1600.”
Me: Next video then.

Dammit, I thought I drunk subscribed to a cat/tech channel. Lol
Will we get a paid scratching post review next?
Is it April's fool day already!? 😹
Excellent channel name :)
When i saw the thumbnail with Paul Daniels, i though it was Paul Daniel's channel :-)
How old was berry on the new pic?
I think I need one
LEICA is THE BEST lens maker in the world, nothing even comes close.
their cameras might not be most user friendly though
“... they have big lenses over them...” (camera battery dies) 😂
Repost?
Leica is known for the quality of their glass. The biggest shortfall of the scope is the mounting options.
This was quite an interesting video but on the whole a bit disappointing due to the lack of cat content. What's on the box should be in the box.
considering its 4x the price of the amscope i really dont see why anyone would pick the leica over the amscope
Focking lulz, the madness!
Name had me all messed up O.O
I'm having a strong feeling of deja-vu right now.
I don't know if Apple finally corrupted Louis Rossmann or Blackberry the cat does?
i think it's perfectly fair to compare it when it's like 3x the price and worse
absolutely but youre paying for optics with the leica
I prefer paul video than any cat video
Why is everyone talking about the channel name? What changed about the channel name? Everything looks the same to me...
Oh, while I think of it... watch Captain Marvel. Just hope that Blackberry doesn’t burp up a Tesseract on your desk.
You gotta change the channel thumbnail as well.
the microscope stares at paul

He finally realized cats rule your life, they are the alpha of the house and your life.
From the youtube video point of view, I do prefer the picture from the Leica
Why are Paul's Ears so red?
so you did change your name to blackberry the kitten? haha nice one
What's with the channel name change?
This guy reminds me of the Filbert from Roco's Modern Life,
