Welcome to the forum. Have fun.
Re: dunk in Peterborough UK
Welcome aboard, dunk.
There's an incredible knowledgebase here to tap into.
Do you have a compound already and any particular subjects you hope to view? If you have a compound scope already, what do you have? Happy with it?

Currently exploring phase contrast & just acquired a Reichert Neopan with 3 phase objectives … & also putting together a Biolam phase contrast 'scope for which have a Biolam phase contrast set. When current c'virus emergency ends plan to sample diatoms at local nature reserves.
Re: dunk in Peterborough UK
Hi Dunk, welcome
Diatoms can be found just about anywhere that there is standing water, so a ditch, pond, fountain or plant pot overflow tray are all viable options.
Do post photos of your microscopes in the My microscope section. We all like to see them!

Re: dunk in Peterborough UK
Aware diatoms are everywhere … Interested in discovering which specific types are present in local nature reserve ponds. They can act a barometer for 'pond health'. I'll post 'scope pics in due course.
Re: dunk in Peterborough UK
Thought you were lamenting the lack of collecting opportunity due to the quarantine.When current c'virus emergency ends plan to sample diatoms at local nature reserves.
Look forward to seeing photos of your microscopes when you find the time upload them.

Just posted a couple of photos of a 1923 vintage Leitz Travelling Microscope in the 'My Microscope' section
Unfortunately there is no access to the local nature reserves during current C'virus emergency thus unable to commence the pond diatoms project.
