I’ve been wanting to get a proper microscope so I can do my own spore examinations to identify local fungi but it’s been out of budget. This looks like a much more affordable option so now off to find some plexiglass and laser pointers at the dump.

Interesting indeed! The post mentions higher magnification using two lenses but has no photos of the same. If you build it, do let us know the challenges with using two lenses and improvements, if any, with the change in camera quality over the years.
