Gerald\n (2014.11.04)

So I need to place the cover slip with immersion oil on the slide with a sample and then low the objective lens?

Yes, you are right. The immersion objective should be lowered until it touches a drop of oil previously placed on the cover slip.

Hi! I'd like to observe dust under the microscope... should I use immersion oil for this? If yes, then where should I place a drop?

It's very easy to breed infusoria: you need to place a wisp of dried grass (hay) in the bowl of water and then put it in the warm place for a couple of days.

Customer service:

Thank you for your comment.

Julie Walker (2013.03.04)

Hello! That one can't regulate the thickness of the slice is a letdown. Do you have microtomes with micrometer-dial screws? Best regards.

Customer service:

Unfortunately this kind of microtomes is currently unavailable in our shop.

Julie Walker (2013.03.01)

Hello! Can you please explain to me how to use a microtome, I can't undestand what the book reads. How do I regulate the thickness of a slice?

Customer service:

You need to insert the sample in the sample holder and then cut the thin slice with rotary motion. The thickness is not adjustable.
