What is the best way to view my spores with a microscope?

< All Topics

Microscopy spores are best viewed at 400X or greater magnification. Place a small amount of dried spores into a small amount of water and then place a small drop of the resulting solution on a glass slide and cover with a slip cover. Excess water can be absorbed with the corner of a paper towel to prevent the slip cover from floating. Pre-made spore solutions in the syringe kit w/ applicator can be conveniently applied directly onto the slide.
