Hi Rob
there is quite a good community of amateur microscopists here in the UK. There are a few Societies, and several meetings throughout the year where you can see the work of others, hear talks, swap ideas, learn from experienced and enthusiastic amateurs, and get gear and useful consumables like slides, cover-slips etc.
What subjects are you interested in?
Do you already have a microscope?
best wishes in your exploration of the fascinating micro world.

Re: Hi
Is that a Watson Microsystem 70 I see...
Do you have the manual?

Re: Hi
Have a look at 'M82' in the list that appears when you load;

The information on the different illumination systems particularly are useful.

Re: Hi
Looks like it might be a Micrasteria, though the lack of sharpness due to empty magnification makes an ID a bit of a guessing game.
Empty magnification is the result of an increase in magnification over what the system (objective, eyepiece and camera lens) can provide.
The image just gets larger without providing more detail, eventually, if magnified past a certain point the result is a blurred image.
Nevertheless a good start and a good catch. Desmids are quite beautiful.

Re: Hi
Welcome, rob. I too have a closet full of tiny student---toy monoc scopes like you share image of. Your more substantial scope seems a great 'work horse stand'.
I note you actually imaged forum member 75RR's avatar...perhaps it is out of focus more than empty magnified desmid? Thanks for the greeting from UK, Charlie guevara
