Killifish eggs

Microworms

That's really cool! If you gravel vac while you have the scope, you should check out what's living in the mulm!

Try putting some other plants and things under the microscope, probably a lot of cool organisms and things to see on there.

That's cool.  So, it's a microscope that connects to you pc?

Do you happen to know what power of microscope is needed to identify parasites in fish poop?

I'm guess more powerful than this one... Out at least more reliable. It's hard to keep this focused on anything.
