>>4798812Second only to mycology.

>>4798640A friend a mine is lead microbiologist at Dyson, I keep asking her for samples of anything.I know they have a level 4 lab there.
What's a good microscope that balances quality and price? I'd thought about getting into this.
>>4800051good luck with getting anything from any BSL above 2. They're designed to not let anything in and out and asking your friend to bring samples might make them lose their job and lead to further legal repercussions. Starting at BSL 1 you already deal with GMOs that are not supposed to leave facilities because they might interfere with the environment.
