I was thinking, Maurice, that you might have some ideas on the magnification Jessie might need for what she wants to do? I know I germinated some daylily pollen on onion skins years ago and took some pictures but I don't remember which microscope I used. One can boost the microscope magnification with the camera to some extent but there's still a big difference between my dissecting microscope at 20X/40X and my monocular at up to 1,000X. I rarely use the maximum on the mono because it needs oil for that. For some things the lower power stereo just isn't good enough and it would be nice to have a higher power stereomicroscope, but for most of my purposes the one I have is perfectly adequate. Do you want to be able to take pictures, Jessie?
