I guess I could have predicted the questions that would be asked.

Here's the story. I have a cheap microscope that I bought less that a month ago, and I've been spending time every day looking at tiny alive things.

My oldest daughter recently came down with a lice infestation, and her huge (think Merida in Brave) curly hair is like a lice fortress. When my wife was treating her, I had her set aside a live louse.

I'd heard that one way to kill lice is to dry them out, and thought that letting it sit in salt water and letting the salt water dry around it might do that. I put a tiny drop of salt water on top of the louse in the lid of a petri dish and went to bed. When I got up the water was dried, the louse was still alive, and it just happened to have one of its feelers embedded in a salt crystal. It's been about 24 hours now and he's still alive, still wiggling. I've heard that they die after 2 days away from sustinence, so I'm testing that.

I kind of wish I had more of them so I could do other experiments on them.

edit: I take videos in the microscope by simply holding my phone's camera up to the eye piece.

So how does that particular model compare to, say this or this? I'm mostly curious from a hobbyist prospective.

Check out this AmScope model. I have a friend who has it and is having a lot of fun with it. Pretty good for $75. You can even buy a cheap USB camera that fits it.

I'm a PhD student in the biological sciences, and I don't own a microscope because I have access to big expensives ones that are far better than anything I could buy. But, I could see myself getting one for fun if I ever don't have access.

If you've ever used a nice microscope, you will think that this one is really cute. But it works great and fits into a shoe box.
