Nice! I see you have a passion too.
I did have a look at blood through my microscope too yesterday and it was fascinating.
I also had a look at slides on eBay and was wondering if I buy them from overseas (for example a serious seller in the US) will there be any problem with customs? I am only asking because I know they are very strict with plants and stuff. There is obviously no danger with slides, but I was wondering if they have any rules with this sort of products? I was thinking of ordering a whole set of 100 slides, so I will be busy this winter.
By the way, concerning the webcam adapter I had an idea yesterday... I grabbed an old webcam I had that somebody had given me (a normal one) and wound a rubber band around its nosepiece, and now it seems to fit the microscope pretty well. I don't think this method would work with a telescope (too much winding), but with a microscope it seems to be fine.
