I’ve been wanting to get a proper microscope so I can do my own spore examinations to identify local fungi but it’s been out of budget. This looks like a much more affordable option so now off to find some plexiglass and laser pointers at the dump.

what a great idea! Now I know what to do with the next if the next of those cheap laser diodes fails on me! The lens should work I guess 😎
Laser diodes are also cheap; you can get them in bulk for a few dollars from DigiKey and similar places.
