I find the AmScope Dry Darkfield Condenser to be a great addition to my microscope, especially when viewing protozoans. In general, an object which is mostly transparent (like most protozoans) often images well in the darkfield. You probably know this, but just in case you don't: the idea is to replace the fully-illuminated field from your current condenser which shines on your objective lens (creating the white field you usually see), with a thin "ring of light" which is designed to NOT hit the objective lens -- so if you try it out with an empty, blank slide, you won't see anything ... because there's no light reaching the objective lens. But when you have an object on the slide, it DOES catch the light, and it is the lights being bounced of the image that you will see, as a brightly lit image against a dark background field. Using it is fairly simple: you just undo the locking screw for the regular (lightfield) condenser (be careful when doing this, and support it with your hand so it doesn't fall when the unlocking screw releases it). Then insert the darkfield condenser in its place and lock it in securely. MOST IMPORTANT: as the other reviewer said in their answer, the customer service folks at AmScope are very knowledgeable, very helpful ... and very patient. I have had to ask them a few questions when I couldn't understand something, and they have always been a big help. So if you are still having trouble, don't hesitate to call them. They'll explain it much better than I could.

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

Contact the manufacturer, they are usually very helpful. However, they make a huge number of products, from steel rolling mills to ultra microscopes, so send them all the details on what you want, and good luck.

Even if your purchased one of AmScop's microscope cameras, you would not be able to attach it to this microscope. The ports are too small to fit one of the microscope cameras. I suggest you upgrade to model M150A, M150B, and M150C.

No is the short answer. Look for "macro" lenses or "magnifier" lenses or "microscope" apps or lenses

The closes to x1 I think you'll get is with a 0.3X wide field Barlow lens: http://www.amazon.com/AmScope-SM03-Widefield-Barlow-Microscopes/dp/B009VUP3R0/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1397176236&sr=1-2&keywords=amscope+barlow+lens It is not clear why you need x1, since that is zero magnification? I guess if you had a camera connected you can use the microscope as a camera holder. You can contact AmScope about possibly getting a 5X eyepiece, I'm guessing the combination of 0.3X Barlow lens and 5X eyepieces is the closes you will get to X1 without just removing the lenses altogether. I have not personally tried the 0.3X lens so I can't comment on how well the solution will work.

Not directly. AmScope does have a variety of digital cameras that will. They fit into one of the optic slots. If you call AmScope directly, their tech people will help decide which is best for your needs. Very happy with the quality of the 'scope and with AmScope.

Should work on any CMOS Image Sensor - - it depends on the physical size of your sensor as their are different widths of swabs.

No. This microscope is for object you can shine light THROUGH. You would need a stereoscope for coins.

I use them on 35mm negatives and slide film. They work very well. I don't see a reason they can't be used on any film.

you need to hook the Zoomy to a computer for it to work. Meaning you need a computer screen. It is an "electronic" microscope and won't work without being attached to a computer with the software they provide.

I don't know if it will work on slides & film, it works great on camera lenses. I would suggest you contact the Manufacturer in Canada.

There are many usb digital cameras available from Amsco. Look in their website for a listing from 2 megapixel to to 10, They have an extensive list of accessories for thier microscopes. have fun!

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

It will work with most any lens if the subject is close (a couple of feet or so ). It is not particularly powerful and is best for close up work (macro lens or extension tubes)

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: The biggest issue for this use case is going to be backlighting. The microscope only comes with lights from the lens side, so you would have to set up your own backlight solution. This also wouldn't be good for skin cells, but plant cells are usually large enough to view at this magnification.
