I plan to buy a new trinocular to study mocorhizae. I plan to buy the Olympus SZ61TR with the EP50 camera system and the (expensive) SX420 base with standard and blackfield illumination base. Price is about 5 000 USD$ (before tax)
Anyone has comments (good or bad) about this stereo microscope or suggestion about other better brand/model for the same price ?
As magnification is up to 40X I don’t plan to see inner structure of spores, I’m interested in germination rate, root colonization, hyphae growing rate etc.
Thanks for your help.
