They make cameras that go into microscopes, but they are really expensive. We have to come up with an affordable way! If I find one, I'll be sure to let you know!<br>Thanks Eli! :D What is the magnification of your microscope?

The most powerful objective is 97X, which puts me at 970X with my 10x eyepieces. That objective is an oil-immersion lens, which I'm just learning to use; luckily, there is a lot of information for beginners like us out on the web. <br><br>Keep an eye out for rotifers too - I saw some in action and it is amazing!Elinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-25876555113805312982009-02-27T20:42:51.000-05:002009-02-27T20:42:51.000-05:00How cool.
