How many organisms are in a drop of water? In this video, I added grass into a beaker of water and left it alone. After a few days, I looked at what grew and put it under a microscope.
I use:
Camera Nikon D3300
Microscopes
Wards trinocular Microscope (not sure the model) 40X, 100X, 400X, 1000X American Optical One Ten microscope 150X, 600X, 1500X
The magnification is shown in the bottom right hand corner of each shot.
