Hi Marcos - thanks for watching. The magnification is - well - technically that depends on how big a screen *you* are watching on. In theory the magnification is actual size on your screen divided by real size. Which in the case of the ostracods in my pond varies from about 0.5mm to maybe 1mm for the really big ones. The microscope itself has a x5 zoom lens and a x10 eye pieces. So, when I look down the microscope I see x50. What the camera sees is more difficult to work out. What is often more important is resolution and illumination.
That gave nice clarity on my 46 inch tv. Wow, nice images.
Thanks 👍
Hello there,
What magnification did you use on the closeups? Like in the last few seconds of the video.
Cheers.
