I could measure the image in the microscope in millimeters with a ruler (as best I can and use the formula

real length = image length / magnification

If you want to use a 60x dry lens or 100x oil immersion you need to have a microscope with an Abbe condenser .... something mine hasn't got, but if I'd known at the time could have got for just £20 more ....

Have fun .... Chris says you don't have to stop when the toadstools stop ... I think the toadstools merely slow down, never stop ... there is always something to be found ... well unless we get a really severe winter with 10ft of snow for weeks ... at which point a quick swab of the fridge should pick up a few spores of those you put in there weeks ago pending identification ...
