Linda, did you see my post above? I bought the Carson digital microscope like yours and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to find a butterfly foot to examine! Like there are butterfly feet everywhere! Seriously, I can look for insects who are enemies of our precious cat babies. I did photograph some of my seeds yesterday. They are fascinating to see up close. The different species don't even vaguely resemble one another. I also photographed a drop of tap water. It was fairly clean (no amoeba or protozoa, for which I am grateful!!!).

Images below:

Top, left to right - ventral abdomen of a beetle and Red Lady Salvia 'coccines' seeds. (The beetle is a little too large for the microscope. It would photograph better if it were dissected into smaller parts that fit on the slide.)

Bottom, left to right - Triple Yellow Datura seed and Fennel seeds
