anyone have access to a microscope?

[manderx]

i was thinking it would be cool to check out the little critters in our tanks. anyone have access to a microscope? it would be great if you could bring it to a meeting, or if it's stuck in a lab and hooked up to a digicam so you could send us the pics (i certainly don't expect to be allowed in any labs) that would be really cool.

I may be able to get access to a crappy little microscope that will do something like 10 and 20 x .. it is very portable, only weighs about a pound, and will let you see .001" pretty accurately .. I used it to measure fibers that were about 50 microns thick, or about .002", which is about the size of (or smaller than) a human hair.

Let me know if this will suffice, or if you are looking for something a bit better.
