The microscope is Edmund Scientific's "Beginner Microscope Kit" with a
fixed 10x eyepiece and 4x, 10x, and 40x objectives. I have not had
much experience (it is, after all, a beginner's scope). Slide
preparation is just getting a drop of water in an eyedropper, putting
it on the slide, and putting a cover slip on. I know enough to avoid
air bubbles. I'm not using any stains or filters.

Thanks,
