Re: Advice buying a stereomicroscope ~200€

I glossed over that one because of the space benieth the lens.... but now it does not look that bad :) One question... this has a max of 40x... is this enough for rocks and leaves and whatnot? In theory could you put 20x eye pieces and get double the magnification? And another question can a canon d...

I tried to look at red blood cells. Are these Echinocytes?

I accidentally reopened a scratch and thought its a good occasion to put the blood on a slide. I saw a lot of pointy red blood cells at the edges of the slide. Are these artifacts? Echinocytes? (sorry for the poor phone picture)

We have a stereo microscope that fits us quite well https://www.bresser.de/en/Microscopes-Magnifiers/BRESSER-Biolux-ICD-20x-Stereo-Microscope.html but sometimes I feel like more than 20x magnification would help. I think an extra pair of eyepieces to increas...
