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 MikroCam SF Full HD Microscope Camera
The BRESSER MikroCam SF cameras are perfect for capturing high-quality photos and videos through a microscope. They make documenting and sharing your observations with others easy. Thanks to the high frame rate of the MikroCam SF series, you can record smooth and fluid videos. The built-in Sony sensors deliver excellent image quality, vibrant colours, and impressive dynamic range. The included software supports multiple languages, including German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and Turkish. The MikroCamLabII software offers a wide range of features. Essential settings like exposure time and sensitivity can be adjusted automatically or manually. One of the standout features is focus stacking, which increases depth of field, as well as tools for creating mosaics and panoramas. Both functions can be used with a pre-recorded image series or directly in live view. With live focus stacking (EDF), the MikroCamLabII software can produce razor-sharp images in just minutes. As you adjust the focus on your microscope, the software automatically builds a perfectly sharp final image—no extra steps needed. This allows you to achieve stunning, high-quality results in no time.  The built-in measurement function* helps you determine dimensions or overlay a scale. With just a few clicks, you can measure distances, angles, or areas. Advanced tools even allow for precise measurements of circles (including area and radius) and complex polygons. Measurements can be performed on both captured images and live view. The MikroCamLabII software also includes powerful algorithms for automated image analysis, such as particle counting and surface evaluation. The camera body features a C-mount thread, making it compatible with microscopes from a variety of manufacturers. If you're unsure which MikroCam model is best suited for your microscope, we're happy to help. For devices with a 23.2 mm mount, an optional 0.5x reduction lens is available (Art. No. 5914015 (fixed), Art. No. 5914005 (variable)). For specialised applications, such as use with a C-mount lens, the camera can also be mounted using the built-in 1/4" tripod thread. *To calibrate the measurement function, a suitable measuring tool is required, such as Art.

BRESSER MikroCam II 20 MP 1'' Microscope Camera
The BRESSER MikroCam II 20 MP 1’’ microscope camera is the professional solution when it comes to microscope imaging. This camera has a big 1’’ sensor (image area 13.06 x 8.8 mm); this is the biggest sensor of the MikroCam camera range. With this camera it is possible to document roughly the same field of view as it can be seen through the eyepiece (e.g. when using a 10x / 22mm). Other models will cover only 50% or less of the eyepiece field of view. The Sony IMX183 CMOS-sensor is very sensitive and has extremely low image noise, which makes this camera especially suitable for contrast methods like dark field or phase contrast. The MikroCam Lab II software comes with a wide range of professional functions, e.g. measurements in live view (calibration slide needed), mosaic, Focus-Stacking (for improved depth of field). All automatic functions (exposure time, gain, white balance etc) can be adjusted manually as well. Due to the big sensor size the camera will not work with all microscope models. It might be possible that the optics will not illuminate the full sensor, so you experience vignetting. Usually this can be resolved by using the optional 1x optical adapter (item no. 5914001). Please note that this camera model is not suitable for the stereo microscope BRESSER Science ETD-201. It will cover only a small field of view.
