Thanks Robin. I did feel a bit stupid with putting on the eye caps on the microscope without adding the lenses first, hahaha. But I thought it was funny to edit it in.
i'm so happy for you!! doing things under a microscope makes a world of a difference and opens up so many possibilities - i've even started filing and sawing certain tiny elements under the microscope. i also heard that those binocular glasses things really ruin your eyesight over time. microscopes are very expensive most of the time, and i know that many people would like them or need them but don't get them just for that reason, but it's really worth checking online auctions where they sell lab equipment second hand when they upgrade to newer microscopes, as you can find real bargains.
That is a great tip Alisa, I hope other subscribers will read it as well. Second hand tools can be just as good. Compared to a lot of other microscopes this one has a very reasonable price but it still is a huge investment.
@@Estona.Jewelry.Tutorials for sure! But if at all possible to invest in, a shiny, new microscope will give you the confidence that it won’t break early on and that you have lovely, new lenses ❤️
I understand completely Judith, hahaha. I am such a tool addict myself. Starting this TH-cam channel is the best, ;-). If I would have known I could play around with awesome tools like this I would have started years ago!
I needed to raise my microscope up so I could get screwdrivers under. I discovered "Barlow" lens which screws on the bottom (0.5x for me) very cheap and does the job.
Wow! What a gadget!! There is no way I would have used that creepy furry headrest piece, either! LOL. I want one e but a bit pricey for me. Love the scope shots!
yes, the microscope is a great idea, esp. since the objectives can be swaped out, as your sight changes, also the eyepiece!, this allows you to customise the working distance, NOT just if you can see it at all.
It is making my life so much easier. Have to say that I am impressed with what good magnification can do. Even with 'simple' cabochon settings. The difference between really getting all of your material nicely folded over the stone or thinking you have folded over everything. It's such a joy to set stones like this.
I followed your enthusiasm and ordered a tool package from Gesswein. I did not have a good buying experience. And to give them the benefit of the doubt I made several phone calls to follow up. I finally spoke with someone helpful but he was a technician fixing tools for the company. First of all there sales people are thru a third party online firm who know zero about jewelry making or any of there products. After two phone calls to ask questions because the website was not working well and I found an error. No one from the family or owners call to answer my questions or fix the website issue. I most likely will not order from them again.
Thank you so much for responding. And I have to say I am really surprised by your experience at Gesswein. I have only heard good things so far. Could you please send me a mail with your personal information at info@estona.nl? I will try to get you in contact with someone at Gesswein. I can honestly say that I am sure they will follow up to make sure this doesn't happen again.
thats right, at 9:08 these are called the 'eye-pieces' what the instructions probably meant to say is to attach the eyepieces to the diopter assembly, with screws ( a jewelers or watchmakers screwdriver set will do it). The diopter is what allows for eye specific focus, aka if you wear glasses it replicates this on the microscope, so you don't need to wear the glasses while using it.
I have been debating for over a year now whether to get one of these tools… what about prescription glasses do you still need to wear glasses while using this microscope? your future videos would be off the scale if you also get a gift of a way to connect it to video link somehow..I’m not sure how others are able to film their setting tutorials, I’ve seen some that connect to a screen and I think they fine the screen possibly 🤷♀️your setting up video makes me want to buy one, but will hold off for now… can’t wait to see you use it in future videos, exciting times ahead x
I totally agree here. Maybe I should investigate options to do so. Thanks for the tip! In regards to your question about prescription glasses: I wear them myself. You don't see them on camera because I have to take them off otherwise the studio light reflects in the glasses. While using the microscope you need to take your glasses off, but seeing as how you set it to your own personal needs you can be sure that you will see perfectly sharp through it. I will definitely add a follow up tutorial on the microscope shortly.
Hi it’s been 2 months now and I’m about to order a scope but I’ve been hearing conflicting feedback regarding damage to eye site and headaches when using theses lower priced microscopes, can you give your unbiased opinion on how it has been for you and how often you use it? 🙏🏽
@@kizzywitch You really need to take some time to get it well adjusted when you first use it. For your eyes, but for your posture as well. It took me a couple of times before I knew the correct settings for me because the microscope does take a bit of getting used to. I can honestly say that I am very happy with this one. The magnification for me is great and I can't imagine needing it to magnify even more. So I don't know if there is a difference with 'cheaper' or 'more expensive' microscopes regarding damage to your eyes. I would think that if you can create a very sharp magnification it does what it's supposed to do. Of course I don't know how often you will sit behind the microscope. I make about 3 pieces a week and use the microscope every time. But as you can read I am not behind it hours per day. I would google a bit on the subject to see how people using microscopes (for instance people in laboratories) go about it. If they are familiar with eye problems after using a microscope and what can be done to avoid this.
This model looks to be a copy of an older Olympus stereo inspection microscope very similar to one I use at work. I have an unequal vision that has developed over my working life, and with the Olympus, one can adjust the adjacent eyepiece to accommodate the dioptre difference between unequal vision. If the unit shown in the video has an adjustable dioptre eyepiece, you would never have a problem with getting a good image. Oh yes, I do not need to wear my reading glasses to use the Olympus. I just use the dioptre compensation for that problem.
I have the same unit ( made in China) except it is unbranded, I paid much less, so far seems to adequate for what I do For the Headrest grab yourself a Silicone pad (GRS)
Dear Estona, would you be able to show us another video reviewing this microscope and your overall opinion (pros and cons) about the item. It's been about a year since you got it so maybe you got something new to add .....=)
How do you feel this microscope would be for engraving work pieces with a power engraving machine? Plenty of room for gravers to carve and engrave under the scope?
Hello how you’re recommending this microscope? Does quality is good for eyes, or all microscopes are same? How much does it cost? And where from can I order? Thank you!
There are very cheap and effective digital microscopes online which require hardly any set up , are smaller, Can be moved around and can do magnifications up to a few hundred x. You don’t need that, but I think it is easier, and it can also be used for other purposes. Cheap ones can be bought for around €150.
digital microscopes can be great for certain purposes but keep in mind that they do not offer stereoscopic vision so you have no depth perception when using them, depth perception is very important with engraving and gem setting, I speak from experience as I got one to try with engraving before getting a stereoscopic microscope and I must say that it is very difficult to do any type of engraving work with one. also from my experience the clarity given from good glass optics is very difficult to match with a digital microscope and monitor...
The problem with digital imaging is the lag in update time. We have a high quality digital inspection microscope for PCB repair and even this one has a noticeable lag depending on the zoom rate. Compared to the older ( ~ 20 years ) Olympus stereo, I prefer to use the Olympus over the electronic microscope. I suspect working with gemcrafting is not as forgiving as repairing PCBs, even < 0.5mm track separation. When you need immediate visuals while cutting gems you would not get that same update rate with electronic CCD imaging.
I got those "Craft Optics" They are expensive USD and certainly not like the this device. Not happy about the way they work. This looks like it is actually easier to use and works much better. Thanks Roger. Thank you Brejia. Hope things are going well for you.
Oeh, that really sucks... If you spend so much money and something and it isn't doing what it is supposed to do. I'm sorry to hear that Ruth. I hope you can find a way to work around it. Or maybe try to sell it and invest in something different. I am still having a lot of fun here Ruth, with making the videos. I stopped with making custom made jewelry to focus solely on my TH-cam tutorials. That is the best choice for me. Now I am only making things I love myself. How are you doing?

Thank you for sharing your amazing jewelry tools.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I'm suffering from tool envy! 🤣

Hahahaha, this made me laugh Mark. I can understand, ;-)
Excellent unboxing video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Robin. I did feel a bit stupid with putting on the eye caps on the microscope without adding the lenses first, hahaha. But I thought it was funny to edit it in.
Congrats! You deserve this wonderful tool…enjoy!
Thank you so much Jan! Or should I say 'Dankjewel'?
Congratulations on the new tool!!
Thanks Carmen! Who would have thought I would receive such awesome tools with just doing something I like to do. I am flabbergasted!
@@Estona.Jewelry.Tutorials I know! That’s what makes it even better! You are on your right path!
Just got mines today ! My dad showing me his ways 💰💪 love it thanks for the tutorial
Ohhhhh, that is so nice, to be able to work together on jewelry pieces. Are you happy with your microscope? I certainly am!
#Marvelously simple, elegant and effective!! Thank you ☺️💝
Thank you!!
Here is another reason I love Gesswein… when I call them a person picks up the phone right away and greets me using my first name 😁
I get headaches from the band on Opti visors ! So ,I bought one too !
Oeeeeeh, congratulations! I hope you used the discount code (EST21)? And enjoy your microscope!
To get used to working I used reduced size coloring book pages and pens, then modeling clay. It helped speed up feeling natural with the distances.
That is a great idea Ginni, thanks! Will definitely try this!
Brazil here. Great tool.
Thank you!!!
OH BOY!!!! Now I want one!!!!
Hahaha, it truly is wonderful! What an amazing gift!!
Thanks
This is so kind of you Judith, thank you!!!

That's my struggle too. Man I want to get things to test!
It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it, ;-)
I could use a microscope thanks for showing us how to play with it 🙂👌
