This is the one we got our daughter, but I use it for my fish. Haha. It works great for what it is. Nothing fancy, but I have gotten pictures of some awesome critters.
The more you spend the better microscope you can get, but this will get the job done.
I have yet to use dyes for seeing bacteria.
Oh, you’ll want to get extra slides and side covers too.
Thank you very very much for that I'm going to get one picked up on payday. Just wish I didn't need a million pounds for a mfk hoody delivered to the UK? Who am I going to have to mug for one?
