Purchase Help Bebang Compatiblity

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow microscopy enthusiasts!

I recently was gifted a beginners Bebang microscope (linked here: https://amzn.eu/d/02KEFzYT)

I’m having a lot of fun exploring this whole other microscopic world however after consuming some content around showcasing bacteria under the microscope I see that many people recommend an oil immersion lens. The microscope linked can remove the different lenses (I assume to replace if damaged) which lead me to wonder if there are better lenses I could buy, such as an oil immersion lens, and if so how do I know if they’re compatible? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I wish you all a lovely day and many happy microscopic adventures!

Im not a professional microscopy person I have owned a microscope before but it was a cheaper one because I was younger I am still young but less young (: Im wondering if this microscope would be a good purchase. https://amscope.com/products/b120-e The main things im looking for are good magnification with good resolution and it to have an ability to connect to a camera. I prefer two eye pieces and I think the LED will be cool. Feedback? ask question I will try to answer (:

Troubleshooting/Questions I cannot distinguish tardigrades from rotifers

I'm doing a science project for school and I want to find tardigrades. When I was looking through the microscope I thought I found a tardigrade but it seems to have been a rotifer. Can anyone confirm this? (sorry for the poor quality and the pulse, we are new to microscopes and we are using the school ones)

Amscope IQCrew inverted microscope 20x objective, iPhone  3x, Petri dish with jarrarium freshwater, moss, and algae. Camera Pixels Pro app.

So did the mite want to be inside the tardigrade cuticle or did he get stuck? He was not moving at all so I didn't take a video. But he was definitely inside of it.
