My Vet said I need 10x and 40x to see cornification of blood cells and sperm. Knowing nothing about this is this the right microscope?

I'm no expert as to what exactly needs to be identified in relation to cornification what I can say as a general statement viewing cells with this microscope is well within it's scope. (no pun intended). This was my first binocular microscope and the range and ease of viewing is remarkable.

You can see blood cells, better if you stain the cells. I have no experience to see sperm cells but think it should be able to with the oil lens because the size of the cells.

Hi Charles, No, you would have too much magnification. I would get a 10x 20x 40x scope that is used for coins and other solid objects. they are also usually less expensive :)

Possibly but I would recommend a microscope with at least 60X. You can also find ones for a few more dollars that have LED and UV lighting.

I would get something a little more complex. This is really just a glorified magnifying glass. I got it for my son when he had just turned 3 and it was great for just looking at stuff in the yard close up. It doesn't show cells or anything like that.

The practical answer to your question is no! Scientifically, the question gets into many topics which might confuse you and some readers, but for others let's elaborate on this answer. First, objects observed by a compound microscope are essentially seen in only two dimentions. Thus, the maximum magnification of this microscoscope for an object one square nanometer would be 2000 times larger in area or 2000nm2 (note that this not referring to its length which is only a little over 45 nanometers. The concept "seen" (sometimes different from detected especially in regards to one nanometer) would be limited by distortion and resolution. Visible wave lengths vary from 400-700 nanometers, so distortion of color and clarity would be substantial. Using the compound microscope, objects typically would need a separation of 150-350 nanometers (in my opinion, this scope meets that qualification) to see any form of structure...that does not mean you can not detect it (e.g. your eyes can see clouds and rainbows but not water molecules). The square nanometer after magnification would have a diameter of about 45nm, but it needs a separation of about 200nm to see any structure in order to identify it. In my opinion, you essentially can not see it even with the best compound microscope.

I use mine for blood analysis, It is an amazing scope. I have hooked it up to my Daughters MAC and it works great. It comes with everything as far as lenses. You will need to order slides and dyes if you need them as well. If you have any more questions let me know

Hello. I think a good product in relation to cost. I use it to make visual inspection of electronic circuit tracks and it works fine. Note that there are other microscopes with higher magnification, which should consider according to your need. For example, I check tracks the width of a hair and achieving them on the computer screen the mouse cable width ie 3 to 5 millimeters and with good detail. So you're going to watch you? with that level of detail you will perform studies? Greetings! ...

I'm not qualified to answer that question because I don't know what you're looking for. I use it to identify tiny bugs on plants. But I do know most jeweler loupes are 20 to 40x magnification. You may not need such a strong magnification.

Computer or microscope?......yes...it will work, but if you need more power you must see others brands.Good luck!

The magnification is stated as 5X. I purchased this for my father in-law who has macula degeneration, it has helped his situation somewhat. Hope this helps...

In the description of the microscome they mention it is. as follow:"AGPtek® USB 800X Digital Microscope endoscope 2MP 8 LED Compatible with Windows and Mac OS 10.5 or above For Micro-measure Work"

the instructions say 0.3 microliters of blood/take from ear (easiest) lip or pawfor accurate results. its so little amount and the dog hardly knows it was done by using ear

I love my 60mm and am unfamiliar with the 85. But If sterility is an issue then I would consider the NIKKOR-Micro 105mm f/2.8 lens. It is more expensive than the 60mm or the 85mm but well worth it for the increased working space it allows you. If you're going to be doing a lot of medical work you'd appreciate this.

I would not use this type of microscope for solid objects as it has a dependency of light passing through the specimen, like protist and specimen smears. If you are looking for something high-end for solid objects I would suggest something like OMAX 20X-40X-80X Digital Binocular Stereo Microscope with Dual Lights System and 2.0MP USB Digital Camera, notice the design difference. But honestly, a good Camera with a macro lens should work, a cheap USB camera may even work. I would check into what others are using for this type of work. This camera is not what you want as it is more for biology and other micro science hobbyist.

The useful magnification is about 140x for astronomical purposes. Beyond this you're going to get fuzzy images. Don't be fooled by extravagant claims.

IMHO, it would be overkill for that and there are much cheaper, easier microscopes in the $50-70 range that would be more suited to that. You don't mention the age of the kids but this might be a bit expensive and fragile for many 'kids.' Also, are you just wanting optics or the capability to digitally record? For the recording function, this scope will be needing a PC of course with a USB function but also wall current, AC. I am actually in the process of getting one of those little Tasco (or like product) USB microscopes I mentioned for some kids I know to play with. Finally, I just love Amazon reviews for learning about products the 'easy' and cheap way.

Yes,yes,and don't know. It is a five pixel image (I think) so don't any more. This is not a lab research device--best for introducing kids to a new world and science projects. Some stamp and coin folks use it to see detail better---entomologists vac see detail better for ID.
