I would like to observe my blood cells, plasma, white cells under a microscope for overall state of my blood. Will this microscope do the work? Thanks

It should. You'll need to use the oil immersion lens and 25x eye piece. The cam can't go that high. But I believe you are going to need a gram stain kit also.

Get the Wright's blood stain solution sold on here, and learn to prepare the slide properly. This allows differential staining for CBC. Do it for enjoyment and interest, though, and leave the interpretation of results to a clinician. You know what happens to people who start searching symptoms online....They either do not sleep well afterward, or end up with a mailbox full of Miracle Cures for things they never had. It's well known, and called "Intern Syndrome". Whatever the person last studied, they seem to develop the symptoms. Just human nature. I remember the first time I prepared a blood sample and looked at it. There were little things smaller than red cells jiggling around. I panicked and was certain I was loaded with some parasite, or dread plague. It was PLATELETS, being pushed around by Brownian Motion. They belonged there.

I do not think that self evaluation of your blood is a viable use of this or any commercial microscope. High powered electron microscope would be an option but proper evaluation must be done by a properly trained lab technician.

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

I think it would work well for a microscope. I use it for still and video cameras and I use the slotted partitions that come with it. For a microscope I would make use of the pick-n-pluck foam that's also included. It is very easy to use. Just mark the shape you want with a sharpie before plucking the 1/2" x 1/2" foam out in the shape you want. You can also order more of the foam in various sizes if you already have a case or you want to use the case later for a different piece of equipment. Hope that helps and good luck!

It really depends on what the object is... anywhere between an inch and flush. It is not a very powerful microscope. I suggest spending a bit more money and purchasing one with better magnification. This is fine for experimenting with the kids and (hopefully) getting them interested in biology or the like but that's about it.

It strikes me as very good, though I am not an intensive user of microscopes. To my eye, the digital image on the PC is every bit as clear as what I see through the eyepiece. We use the scope on a project in Africa and regularly send images for analysis back to the US.

This digital microscope has only a focus and heigth adjustment. Its resolution is nice, but works better for static materials (i.e., not suitable for living animals in movement).

No. The way is works is, you put on the cuff, press the button on the cuff to turn it on. The cuff communicates with your iPhone (app downloaded from the App Store). The cuff performs the blood pressure check and reports the results to the iPhone App. To my knowledge, a blood pressure monitor that will operate while you are asleep is only available for hospitals - and it costs a lot of money (like in the thousands). If you had the money, you could certainly purchase one. However, I doubt there is any consumer device available that would serve your purpose. You might attempt a Google Search for such a device..

The scope is heavy and very detailed and needs to be stationary. For feathers, insects, etc, I would suggest a cheaper, microscope with a LCD screen and photo option. Look at the Celestron website or the other scopes.

You should be shopping for a dissecting microscope (aka stereo microscope). This type of scope uses light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it. The magnification is typically less than a compound light microscope given that it is used to magnify larger objects for the purpose of manipulating them.

I think it is pretty good. The microscope works really well at X20 magnification, and works reasonably well at X200.

Hi I'm really sorry I've only used this with my telescope, I wish I could answer that but can suspect it should work with many microscopes but not certain.

You can download it anytime. If you keep using the usb blood checker it will store it on the device. When you plug it into the computer it will download all the new information. At least that's what it appears it does. i often to not hook it up until after a few tests and all of the information appears to be there.

Similar, while of good quality and fine optics, great for classroom and lab work but I would prefer a different scope for medical work. AmScope does make instruments for the medical lab.

The microscope has course and fine focus adjustments. I verified this on my microscope today.

This is not a microscope it is a microscope CAMERA. So powe depend on the scope it is on. I found that the clearest images were at magnifications of 250 and below.

This is good for looking at small objects. I've used it at work for parts that are smaller than your fingernail. The part has to be fairly close to the lens in order for it to be focused. It works great for indoors because of the LED light on it. You may want something bigger (larger lens) for looking at flowers/plants in detail (like a larger magnifying glass perhaps).

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

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.
