Sir,  I don't think the next Pasteur will come from ignorance.  The
gentleman's post was ignorance piled on top of ignorance.  If the
gentleman had taken the time to read, quickly, the educational stuff
at any of the major manufacturers, Monster Magnet or my site he would
know more and have bought a better microscope for less.

I hope that the child is so interested in science that he ignores all
the mistakes.  It would be great to see a scientist emerge.  It would
be wonderful for an informed citizen to emerge.

Are you serious? Yes, I'm new to this as I pointed out in my post and
was looking for some guidance from the experts here. I was astonished
that no one bothered to either provide a nice summary or at least
direct me to one. Here's a tip for ya Kev . . . If you feel it's
important for a newbee to read the educational sources you mention,
reference them in your first post rather than after the fact. People
will continue to "make every mistake in the book" if they don't
receive some guidance up front. Also, if you are going to take the
time to call out the mistakes, then take the time to explain what
those mistakes specifically were and what could have been done
differently. That way your post actually contains some value for the
next reader that comes along looking for similar input. And
unfortunately, knowledge of microscopes will never compensate for lack
of social skills - maybe take some lessons from Mr. Kinch. Have a nice
day.
