Hi! I was wondering if you had any information (or could make a video) on the Accu scope 3012 microscope, I am getting one this wednesday from a family member who works in a labratory.
Hi there, welcome to the channel! I don’t know anything about it in particular but upon first glance at the spec sheet it looks like a pretty nice scope! I especially like that it has a removable condenser and 22mm FOV eyepieces. It’s an infinity scope which means the image quality will likely be pretty nice. Practically, there will be little difference between this and most other scopes so feel free to try stuff like darkfield and ShinyaVision. It should all work!
Hi Brian, there are several factors that contribute to the quality of the image here. The main “look” in this video is due to the use of differential interference contrast (DIC) which creates very sharp contrast and outlines around certain details. I’m also using Plan Apochromatic objectives which capture color details really well (see an older vid “Objective Corrections”). I also capture with a nice camera in a log color profile and do post-processing in Davinci Resolve which affords me a lot of flexibility to dial in the colors and get them to pop.

How do you get so much color with your microscope?
