“Great microscope! I suggest watching this video if you're unsure of how to set up the phase contrast turret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekANEcx4ols
The phase contrast turret has options for:
- Brightfield
- Darkfield
- 10x PC
- 40x PC
- 100x PC
It would be great if the alignment rods of the phase contrast turret were removable, as they get in the way a bit and the turret can't be rotated when the rods are pushed in, however a quick 3D print easily solves that issue.
Overall, I'm quite happy with this microscope! It has a decent image quality and great mechanics. I don't expect to outgrow this scope for quite a while.”
