## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this product have glass lenses?**
A: Hi there,

I have made a video to show the slides are made from Glass.

It comes in a box container with x10 sample slide specimens and x5 blank slides so you can make your own slide experiments

Anything else you need, please let us know

Regards - Pete

**Q: Where is this microscope made?**
A: Hi Barry

Thanks for reaching out to us regarding the Old Ted Microscope. 

The Microscope is manufactured in China, though the Guide and features were designed by Adam (father in law and Science teacher for 25+ years) and myself

Anything else where we can help, please let us know

Regards. Peter

**Q: If this doesn't come with a Mechnical stage;What's the space between the two pin holes for the 2 clamps that hold the microscope slides?**
A: HI William,

The distance between the two clamps are 65 mm (I assume that is what being asked by reference to “pin holes”).

Regards,
Peter

**Q: Can you see bacteria moving?**
A: Hi Luis,

While some eucaryotes, such as protozoa, algae and yeast, can be seen at magnifications of 200X-400X, most bacteria can only be seen with 1000X magnification. 

Generally it requires a 100X oil immersion objective and 10X eyepieces. Even with a microscope, bacteria cannot be seen easily unless they are stained.

The Old Ted has a 40X Objective lens and 25X eye piece, so can not guarantee viewing the of bacteria, depending on the type of bacteria

Regards,
Peter

    Good microscope
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024*

Excellent microscope! Good quality materials and easy to use. The only downside is the phone piece came covered in some weird sticky goo, but luckily it was individually packaged and didn't affect anything else. The goo was easily removed with some vegetable oil on a paper towel, followed by a rinse in dish liquid and water. But otherwise, it's an excellent microscope and I would recommend it.

    I got this microscope because I love science and I always wanted one. I couldn’t afford a bigger, more expensive version so I got this and it did great. My only complaint is the amount of dust that was in the stage lens and the lack of helpful directions. It does give basic instructions, but for an adult who has not used a microscope since they were a child, they may not remember *anything* about it and the instructions are not detailed enough for beginners. For instance, I could not figure out why I couldn’t see through the eyepiece. It turned out that I didn’t know the additional lens had to sit inside of the eyepiece. The dust was so heavy that I could not see my samples good at first but I managed to clean it with canned air. I’m giving 5 stars because despite the 2 issues I had, the abilities of this little microscope is amazing and well worth it. The photos I’ve attached are: (2 of Old Ted provided samples): small intestine & mosquito. Salt speck. The video included is: a sample of rain water from my backyard. It’s AMAZING what you can see with this!

    Surprisingly good for the price
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022*

My kids are using for botany study. The microscope seems sturdy and the lens seems like a quality made product. Kids had a blast looking at the cells in plant leaves and flower petals
