I was hoping to see you open one up to show how the components go together for those of us trying to repair old microscopes.

Cool, but when you said "teardown" I was expecting you to actually take it apart to see how the parts inside work :)

Just bought my first stereo microscope just before Christmas.

Thank you for tighten issues :)

I am currently painting a still life and have decided to include a microscope as part of it. Great video as always!

Hay thanks this is just what I needed.

you should add a link to those microscopes or the stuff you use in each video

Kindly suggest how to clean stereo zoom binocular microscooe

Good video.  Loved how the objective lens rotate.  
Very clever mechanism.  I saw a finger print on one of the lenses.  What is your recommendation for removing it?  Thank you for taking the time to create these videos.  

I am retired and have recently become interested in microscopy.  Just purchased a small stereo unit and a medical trinocular one with a USB 3.0 5 megapixel camera and dark field attachment.  Looking forward to spending the coming winter pursuing this new hobby.

Thank you.

I would really like a kind of detailed description of what to look for in a stereo microscope. That kind of information is super abundant for compound microscopes and I feel educated on it, but I would like a stereo microscope as well and I'm tempted to just buy something cheap. I'm not sure what features and attributes you get as you move up the food chain and whether they are valuable for me.

How complex is it to clean the internal optics of both zoom objectives in the microscope featured in this video?

The brand is on the side . It`s a  Scichem BMS microscope . Model 74955

@Microbehunter  Thanks for sharing all this information, I love your channel, I've watched all your videos. I have one of these types of stereomicroscopes, it's an Amscope with a 7x-45x zoom I think, I use it every day and it's great for repairing electronics. But the zoom is too low to observing bacteria and other biology stuff.
I'm wondering, is there any way I can increase its zoom somehow, by changing the eyepieces or adding some extra lenses? Did you try that?

What is the exact working distance in inches or centimeters above the stage to the barlow lens when using the supplied eyepieces of 10X and 20x with the 1X barlow or objective lens?
Is the working distance below the objective greater with a non zoom microscope as opposed to the stereo microscope with a zoom function?

Can stereo zoom microscope be used for frozen water photography ?

are the dual objectivesat 8:21 rms thread or another standard thread and able to be changed or would you have to remove the 3 screws and change the objective pair in that way and is changing them even practical?

Hi Oliver. Two questions: one, are there any famous works of art (a painting for example) that are views from a microscope, stereo or otherwise. If not, I wonder why? Classical art and science do not mix, maybe??  ;-)  (I apologize for my sense of humor.) The other thing is that locally there is someone selling an older AO stereo microscope that is stated as being in excellent condition, however there is no light underneath the stage like you show in your video. It appears that there is a mirror instead. There is a separate lamp on a stand, however. Is this a big deal? How often do you actually use the light under the stage, anyway. Oh, and a third question: perhaps you've already done one, but could you pls do a video on handheld digital microscopes like the Celestron 5MP and best values? Many thx again for all your efforts!

Hello I really really need help
Is there any way to increase the depth of field of a stereo microscope
I intend to use a. 35 Barlow lens so that the more the focal length the deeper the depth of field
But I still need to get a deeper depth of field
Is there any way to maybe add an aperture ( even on the expense of the amount of light, we can increase this by using a more powerful light source)  ?
Please I need your help

my stereo microscope have blur image,  I have quite diferent position of object in each eye. is there any tutorial can help.

What would stop me from using a monocular microscope to view opaque objects by adding a top light? Is it that the stereo microscope has a longer focusing distance?
