Me and My Microscope



I LOVE my new microscope. It is a nice, professional one. I've always loved creatures like amoeba, paramecium, rotifers, water bears, and all kinds of things microscopic. I've had so many toy microscopes when I was younger, that I decided to make the plunge and get a nice one.

I bought a trinocular, which means it is a binocular compound, with an added extra eyepiece that I can add either a USB or regular camera.

I also have a QX5 Digital Blue microscope. It is more of a kid's toy grade, but it's pretty neat, as it hooks right into my computer, and I can take videos of things like the fish tank worm that I was trying to identify and posted on YouTube.
