The white fuzzy stuff is the mycelium of the mold (fungus). Here I look at the mycelium and also at the spores that the fungus formed. I also compare bright-field images with phase-constrast.

Here I rant about the following points: 1. Complex product pages of microscopes with much technical information, which is not relevant 2. Artificially blown up selection of microscopes 3. Extremely high cost of some microscopes 4. Advertisement with unrealistically high Read More …
