FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

For this application we recommend the BRESSER Erudit DLX 40-1000x microscope in combination with a USB camera, e.g. the BRESSER MikroCam 1.3 MP. This solution offers better image quality and flexibility than a simple LCD microscope.

If you want to identify bacteria, it is usually more useful to create a culture. Microscopes are generally only sufficient to determine whether the bacteria are, for example, spherical or rod-shaped.
The Barlow lens is already installed in the eyepiece tube on many devices. It can be pulled out at the upper ridge to use the zoom function.
Possible causes:
 
  • Sample too thick / unsuitable: Use thin samples or fixed smears.
  • No cover glass or incorrect thickness: Objectives are optimized for cover glasses.
  • Condenser incorrectly adjusted: Do not open the diaphragm too far – otherwise contrast will be low.
  • Magnification too high: Rule of thumb: maximum 1000 × objective aperture. Example: With a 40x objective with aperture 0.65, the limit is about 650x.

BRESSER Zoom Optics DST-0745 with MikroCam SP 5.0 camera
High-quality combination set for precise analyses. This powerful set combines the professional digital microscope DST-0745 with the modern MikroCam SP 5.0MP camera. The perfectly matched unit is ideal for precise observations, high-resolution live displays, and reliable visual documentation of your results.The Microscope in DetailThe BRESSER DST-0745 is a special microscope that operates with a C-Mount camera (not included).Thus, direct viewing on a screen is possible. Due to the vertically mounted optics, there is no image shift when focusing. This is especially advantageous for "focus stacking" shots.The zoom is continuously adjustable from 0.7x to 4.5x. A coarse and fine focus makes it easier to sharpen, especially at high magnifications.Due to the convenient and user-friendly operation, the digital microscope is particularly suitable for daily use in the workshop. Measurements, quality controls of surfaces, or checking components and raw materials become easy with the workshop microscope. Insects, plants, and rocks are also impressively displayed.The DST-0745 workshop microscope is not suitable for visual observation, as it is only a zoom lens. It is used in conjunction with a MikroCam C-Mount.It is designed for camera sensors of about 1/2".With the two flexible incident light lamps, the light can be optimally positioned.The transmitted light illumination helps in observing transparent objects. The brightness of both illuminations can be adjusted in five levels.The magnification of a USB camera differs from the objective magnification. Therefore, a total magnification of the digital system cannot be specified. It depends on the sensor size and the display on a monitor.Compatible MikroCam cameras:5914122 MikroCam SF Full HD5914321 MikroCam SP 3.1 MP5914520 MikroCam SP 5.0 MP5914522 MikroCam SF 5.0 MP5914822 MikroCam SF UHD5914912 MikroCamII 12MP USB 3.05914170 MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI5914185 MikroCam PRO HDMI 5MP5914190 MikroCam Pro HDMI AutofocusFEATURES OF THE MICROSCOPEDesigned for C-Mount microscope camerasUp to 1/2" sensor size is suitableMax. object height: 190 mmContinuously adjustable zoom (0.7x - 4.5x)Two flexible incident light LED lampsLED transmitted light illuminationAdjustable brightnessSCOPE OF DELIVERY OF THE MICROSCOPEZoom objective head 0.7x - 4.5xStand with incident and transmitted light illuminationGlass object plate (one side frosted)Plastic object plate (one side white, one side black)Power supply, user manual, dust coverThe Microscope Camera in DetailThe BRESSER MikroCam SP cameras allow for easy capturing of photos and videos with a microscope.The modern CMOS sensors deliver brilliant colors with very low image noise, making it the perfect solution for applications where natural color reproduction is important.

It combines precise microscopy with crystal-clear live image transmission – ideal for research, teaching, and demonstrations.The Microscope in DetailThe BRESSER Science TRM-301 is a trinocular transmitted light microscope of top class: Excellent image reproduction, good ergonomics, high stability, and an appealing design characterize it. As a fully usable laboratory microscope, it finds wide applications in medicine, biology, agriculture, and industry. It is also highly recommended for the dedicated hobby microscopist as a 'microscope for life'.A particularly important feature of the TRM-301 is its ability for so-called Köhler illumination. This optimal specimen illumination, which is exceptionally bright, cool (specimen-friendly), uniform, glare-free, and high-contrast, fully utilizes the performance of the microscope optics. It therefore represents the standard in scientific work and microphotography. The Köhler illumination is adjustable with the fixed built-in aperture diaphragm and the height-adjustable and centrable Abbe condenser (numerical aperture 1.25; with iris diaphragm).Of course, the TRM-301 also features the further typical equipment for high-quality microscopes: with a cross table that moves transversely and longitudinally with Nonius scales, ergonomic coaxial focusing drives (the fine drive achieves 200 µm/revolution), stepless lamp dimmer, plan achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x-oil spring), 10x wide-field eyepieces (in 30° inclined eyepiece tubes), inter-pupillary distance and diopter adjustment, as well as a photo tube.FEATURES OF THE MICROSCOPETransmitted light microscopeHead type: TrinocularMagnification: 40x - 1000x2 eyepieces: both WF 10x (23mm)4 objectives: 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x oilObjective type: Plan achromaticCondenser: Abbe N.A. 1.25Illumination: 12V/30W halogen with dimmerSCOPE OF DELIVERY OF THE MICROSCOPEMicroscope2x eyepiece4x objectivecoaxial cross table with Nonius adjustmentImmersion oilDust coverPower supply 12V, 4AThe Microscope Camera in DetailThe BRESSER MikroCam PRO HDMI Autofocus impresses with its excellent image quality while being user-friendly. It delivers the microscope image live and without delay as an HDMI signal with Full HD resolution to a monitor or TV. An optional 11'' HDMI monitor (Art. No. 5914110) can be directly mounted on the camera and provides brilliant and high-contrast images. Due to its very high light sensitivity, good image quality is ensured even in low light. Thus, this model is especially recommended for dark field or phase contrast.The autofocus allows optimal focusing of the camera without using the microscope's focusing wheels. This ensures parfocality on various trinocular microscopes. The focusable range extends from the 0 position, corresponding to the C-Mount distance, over a maximum forward focusing of 5.4 mm, thus also reaching the CS-Mount distance and additionally up to 10.6 mm inward, to cover an even larger range. Besides autofocus, the camera can also be manually focused using a mouse. A focus adjustment to a specific area is also possible.The operation of the camera functions is done via mouse directly on the screen menu. Measurements can be performed via the screen menu, turning your microscope with the MikroCam Pro HDMI Autofocus into a fully-fledged digital measuring microscope.The MikroCam PRO HDMI Autofocus offers a variety of applications, including:DocumentationEvaluationAnalysisPresentationQuality controlAutomationMachine visionThus, the MikroCam PRO Autofocus is excellently suited as an industrial camera with a very good price-performance ratio.Additionally, the camera can also provide the microscope view in a wireless network via a WiFi module. If the camera is connected via HDMI, images and videos can be recorded directly on an SD card (not included). However, a connection to the PC via USB is no longer provided for this model. For this, we recommend the MikroCam Pro HDMI model 5914180.FEATURES OF THE MICROSCOPE CAMERAHDMI connection for monitor or TVBrilliant image reproduction in Full HD via HDMI (60 frames/sec) or WiFi (up to 25 frames/sec)Measurement function via screen menu (*Object micrometer Art.

The screen delivers brilliant images without artifacts, as the display has the same resolution as the output image of the camera. With the set of MikroCam and HDMI display, almost any trinocular microscope with camera connection can be upgraded to a digital microscope. Thus, observation can be done independently of a PC.The size of the display is optimally chosen so that the microscope user can microscope as usual and view the image simultaneously on the monitor. The display provides optimal image quality with a large viewing angle of 178°! Thus, several people can also view the image without loss of quality.The image from the microscope camera is displayed on the HDMI screen always without delay and with a high refresh rate of 60 FPS. The representation via HDMI microscope camera on an HDMI monitor is therefore usually of better quality than using a USB camera on a laptop or PC. This is particularly advantageous when work under microscopic control is to be carried out.Many users also benefit from the improved ergonomics when the image can be viewed on the HDMI display. Especially higher magnifications with their high numerical aperture are uncomfortable for eye problems such as floaters. Digital viewing can provide relief here.The display can be powered with the included Y-cable using the same power supply as the camera. A suitable, short, angled HDMI cable is also included, so that cable clutter at the workplace is avoided. The mounting on a MikroCam PRO or MINI is done using two screws. Screws and tools are included.FEATURES OF THE DISPLAY16:9 Full HD monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixelsActive area: 16.5 x 29.4 cmEasy mounting directly on a MikroCam PRO or MINILarge viewing angle (178°)No separate power supply neededSCOPE OF DELIVERY13.3" displayHDMI cableY-cable for power supply via camera power supplyMounting screws (2 pieces)Hex keyOperating instructions
