Finally getting the hang of the microscopy thing. 1 1

[Mr.Bill347]

Bought some old buffalos that without it may not have been able to read the date. Example a 1928

Hey @Mr.Bill347. I have been trying to get used to mine too. It came with very few directions, however, but there can't be that much to it, right? I do think that sometimes I may overmagnify and it makes it look like things are there that aren't. Do you ever do that?

Suggestion - Try to get sharper image focus. The OP's photos are better than the first batch and a considerable improvement. Yet, they are not critically sharp.

One thing about most microscopes is they have a built in light. Most of the times I find this light worthless. It can make pictures look real blue and you can lose details. Also, you have to practice getting good focus. Here are a couple pics I just took of the date on my 1936 buffalo.
