What's the best amateur microscope to buy in 2026? I would like to see everything in the size range of protists to virus. I think it will be easy to identify between covid and flu? Depending how many covid test kits I need to buy next year, maybe a new microscope could pay for itself.

She recommended Tasco but the website redirects to Bushnell and all I can find are telescopes and gun porn.

viruses are to small to see under a conventional microscope

threads with cat+microscope OP pictures are troll threads, part of an one-retard raid, and they do not deserve serious replies.

Don't fall for that anon's anticat propaganda. This is a microscope recommendation thread.
