Which Microscope

[dean]

Hi all, I'm sure at least one of you clever people will be able to help me
I would like to get a microscope as I believe it's the best way to identify moss? If so which sort would be best, and yes I'm on a very tight budget so no electron microscope for me

Hi all,

Keep an eye out for "on offer at Aldi", they often do a cheap microscope.

For mosses you might be better with a low power dissecting microscope. We deal with "Brunel Microscopes" and I'd highly recommend them <Low power microscopes>.

We use these at work as a useful desktop tool. Very handy.

No prob. Come with a driver disc and it's pretty much plug and play.
