Mine is from Amazon, and is very similar. It works for what we need for algae identification. I didn't get a case, but I added an adapter for my phone camera so I can get pics.

This is what I'm up against.. it's like a turf that grows on top if substrate doesn't go away in darkness and doesn't disappear when you stir it. Tonight when I did my water change I was able to scoop up a huge chunk spanning across the substrate. I am 70% sure it's turf algae

Selecting a microscope

(Ed: You can start with post #66 if you want to see what I picked for my first scope.) 40X-2500X LED Trinocular Compound Microscope w 3D Two-Layer Mechanical Stage $225 (on sale) seems like a great price. And it seems to have all the necessary features. But they have so many similar models...

It doesn't look like turf algae to me. Seems more like dinos IMO. TA is very tough and usually has a real grip on the rocks n what not.

Have you tried fluconazole?
