Scope generals for serious newbie, please take a look
    #6442347 - 01/09/07 05:01 PM (17 years, 4 months ago)

Hi folks, brand new here. First off let me say that my interest in mushrooms isn't for their effects on my noggin', I want to start collecting the edible ones. I have a few good guides and I borrowed a scope. My question regards scopes for seeing spores. From my guides it seems the average spore size is about 4-9 microns. The scope I have is up to 400X, it's a Swift scope model nine-sixty. Do you think I'm going to be able to differentiate spores at 100X or even 400X (kinda dim at the highest mag.)? What suggestions do you all have for scopes? Thanks in advance for sharing.

You should be able to see them fine at 100x and 400x. 400X is a great power for looking at spores.

You'll probably want a better scope if it's dim at 400X. There is another recent thread where I suggested features to look for in a scope.
