Microscopes for kids and looking at the Foldscope

Today I want to do a direct comparison between a cheap children's microscope and a research microscope.

I will also be answering questions, so feel free to post them in the chat.

Hey @Oliver. Maybe do a live stream just on oil immersion, showcasing different samples, and techniques. Thanks for the awesome content

16:22 this kids microscope is like mine xD (i m not a kid tho). i bought it recently for less than 150€. and it's great, and like you said, the camera quality is way worse than looking through with the eye

Hi Oliver: A little suggestion regarding your book. I would love to know YOUR microscopy ``adventures’’ which can be peppered with technical details and relevant histories. It will be personal and it will be fun! I read a book called “The birth of a theorem” by Cedric Villani. I enjoyed that book because it was personal although I was not always technically adept regarding his mathematics. May be you write without thinking about a special group. May be you just be you!

Hi Oliver, a good method for cutting samples is to use the blade from a carpenter's plane.

Hello Oliver, very happy with your wonderful videos! And your soft accent so reminds me of growing up around it - Mom's side was German.

I have hopefully an interesting proposition for you but I would like to send it to you privately. There may be some money involved! In any case could you drop me your alternative email? Certainly looking forward to your reaction. Oh, and now 50 years since my first microscope at age 11 and the interest is ever stronger. I have a beautiful trignocular swift. Looking forward to hearing from you! Glenn

meiner Meinung nach sind Bresser- und Swift-Mikroskope das Geld nicht wert
