Microbe Identification

Just a note to let folks know that I’ve uploaded some PDF documents with photos and notes to my webpage to assist with microbial identification of soil, compost and compost tea when using a microscope. You may download and print these off freely as long as they are used for educational or identification purposes and not for commercial promotion.

You may find these here; http://www.microbeorganics.com/#Microbe_Identification

I’ve also included many Internet links which are helpful for this purpose.

Salutations,
Microbeman

Can I borrow your microscope?

search around enough and you will find one. i have gotten 2 for free from people who "bought it thinking it would be great fun, only to not care anymore" and one for 20$ at a yard sale. not the cream of the crop but they do their job.

good post MM thanks for the info. And I ask Santa for one but the wife said it is not in the budget. They do not have garag sales here but I could try the flo markt Saturday.

Ditto here. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd be sleeping outside in the doghouse, so to speak, I'd have that large one on my desk right now.
