I have looked forward to joining the forum for some time but am just now getting to it. I started this hobby two and a half years ago and am really into it. Last year while speaking with my brother in Tennessee I discovered that he is into it as well and we converse daily concerning it. He advises me concerning science issues and I advise him about the use of the scopes.
i own several scopes but generally use only four of them and may wind up using all four of them in a single day. the lab i have is small but packed. I have to clean up often. If there is one thing out of place the whole room looks like a train wreck and I keep adding stuff but for some strange reason my wife just won't let me take over the living room. I enjoy the hobby very much and really like the videos posted on microbe hunter.
I can probably answer any questions people may have concerning the use or operations of the scopes.
I hope you have a great day.
