Congrats!

Does that say it goes up to 40x magnification?

100X magnification!!!!! (I decided instead to purchase a more expensive model.)

I thought you dabbled in neurology Loremaster.

Don't you need a TEM for that?

Or is it just your inquisitive nature that prompted the investment?

She looks like a good girl. Have fun.

(you should have gone for a binocular version. You'll get headaches from keeping one eye closed all the time

Finally managed to use it as I had some free time. Took a sample of pond water and the first thing I see is a Euglenis gracilus. Found several of them. Water wasn't too populated with micro-organisms.

It's a whole new world opening isn't it? I remember my first microscope (I think I was about 10). I got next to no sleep the first week! And even in university I spent loads of my free time just looking at samples from virtualy everything.

Oh, I was given a microscope at that age, too - but it was a mere 10x 'scope. No light bulb - just a mirror reflecting light to the slide. But the one I have is a beast.

It is a new world.

Sweet Loremaster!

(Would you be jealous if I mentioned that I have access to a SEM?)

Yeah, I used to spend half my biology class putting anything I could think of under the ones we had there.

Mind-blowing stuff that microverse.
