Microscope suggestions

[Reefer Madness]

Looking to buy a microscope and wanted some suggestions on what i might actually need. Normally I would go down a rabbit whole for a couple days and find out all this information but figured asking might save some time.

Here's an example of the one I have. There are many similar models. But this should accomplish your needs and has a hefty 30% off coupon rn too.

AmScope M150 is what I see recommended a lot by Mack’s Reef Dino Support group on FB.

Good point

Meant to include that the 2nd link is basically a clone of the amscope version but with extra accessories.

Amscope M150 is what I’ve got - has identified many funky things over the last couple years.

You can borrow mine any time, though I’m up in Marin.

@wazzupmac donated one to the club a while ago. It has yet to be added to barcode but its at my house in San Jose and is available

Basically any microscope that can get down to a clean 400x. I have my personal one to share if you live near sf

I bought one with a camera for the eyepiece because I could not take pictures and post online with my phone - Bresser is the brand.

I thought he was looking for a microscope, but maybe I misunderstood.

I could not get this to work with taking pictures. But I am known to be impatient.

Already have one. Just a suggestion...like other BAR equipments.

What Eric was saying is that we do already have one to borrow as with other BAR equipment. We just haven’t gotten around to making a borrow thread and BARCode entry for it yet.

Also he was reacting to your use of “rent” instead of “borrow”, since it’s free to borrow.

Anyway, it’s a good idea.
