Just got the microscope up and running
Here is yeast at 200X
The lines are for cell counting
Here at 400X
Here is some background mold in my basement
Suspended in distilled water at 400X
Will use this to get a cell count, contamination verification and viability of my yeast starters. I also have a gram negative stain kit I will test next to help resolve the cells better.

I like your hemacytometer picture.
It would be interesting to see the difference with single and double strength wort starter solutions now.
Nice.
Have Fun!
