RE: The Amateur Mycologist's Guide To Microscopes - Compound Vs Dissecting/Stereoscopic - Greenough Vs CMO
It was not - from my perspective - cheap. But it was less expensive than a similar model from almost any other legit brand. :) Some googling will readily turn up the details if your interested - AMScopes seem to everywhere, from amazon to jet.com
Take a few good trichrome pictures and post them and it ought to pay for itself :)
Is trichrome staining used with dissecting scopes? I thought it was used in compound microscopy...
Either way, stains and dyes are definitely the next level of mounting technique for me - currently I don't have any dyes whatsoever, let alone the melange of acids involved in trichrome.
But I also haven't upgraded my compound scope yet! That may be next!
I think they actually come in various stunning colors.
Ohhhh - I thought you meant trichrome the microscopic staining process - it does make for some pretty pictures also - but this makes a lot more sense! Yeah I need to find me as many tiny things to look at as possible!
I sensed there was a disconnect :)
