    How many organisms are in a drop of water? In this video, I added grass into a beaker of water and left it alone. After a few days, I looked at what grew and put it under a microscope.
    I use:
    Camera - Nikon D3300
    Microscopes -
    Wards trinocular Microscope (not sure the model) - 40X, 100X, 400X, 1000X American Optical One - Ten microscope - 150X, 600X, 1500X
    The magnification is shown in the bottom right hand corner of each shot.
