could this be used to watch bacteria?

Hi! Yes, such as pond water creatures- diatoms, paramecium, and such. My son also did a cheek swab, and checked out those cells.

The one I've purchased is not powerful enough to do that. Amazon has some models that have higher magnification, but be prepared to spend more.

I found it comparable in clarity to the same magnification in the microscopes at our University's labs. I observed motile bacilli & cocci in a droplet of yogurt the first time I tried it out, and the focus was quite clear. I don't think the visual field is quite as large as larger microscopes (like the ones in the lab) but it's not really noticeable.

Yes, it should filter e-coli and all other bacterial contamination, like all RO systems would.

Yes. You would be able to view many different kinds of biological cells including blood cells.

i haven't used it for that. but i am thinking you should be able to see that with the impedance reading.

Hello--As far as testing food,I am not aware of this unit being used for that -You might have to research alittle futher...

Yep. They just create a large surface area for the bennificial bacteria to live on. They are pretty large though. Make sure you measure your filter and get the right size for your specific application.

I don't think I'd rely on it for pasteurization, as it measures the temp at the tip -- not along the entire length of the probe.I'd be worried about just getting a "spot" temperature -- unless you are absolutely sure that your entire tank has been mixed to a perfectly even temperature.

It will show you bacteria and other chemical contents. Not sure whether bad taste reason will be exposed by it

Yes, and once it sets up it's good bacteria, they become an amazing filter. Safe for babies. Easy to hide with a decoration, or plants. Enjoy the hobby, it is a very rewarding hobby.

I doubt it. This filter isn't listed as having any antimicrobial properties. I would recommend a seychelle filter bottle for that type of use.

It has a test for bacteria for example E.Coli, however the bacteria test does not specify what kind you have in there.

The picture on the package may lead you to assume that the thermometer is strictly intended for taking human temperatures. The device, however, is not so limited. It can be used to measure the temperature of many things. That being the case it would not make sense for the manufacturer to color code temperatures in specific ranges that correlate to human conditions. Short answer to your question: "No"

Yes, this would be able to check the temp of a BBQ or smoker. I have had one for a few months now and it has worked great so far. No problems or issues.

Wash probe by hand being careful NOT to immerse in water. So the answer is NO. :)

No, not for microbes. I hope you will choose NOT to purchase it. My experience, this was very poor quality. Builds up slime inside within 24hours. I wish I didn't bother with it. I would go with stainless-steel Berkey. You should ask them about what your needs are. Good luck!!

you use a black light to detect e-coli bacteria. If e-coli is present it will be luminescent. That is what I was testing for and it tested positive. I didn't add anything.
