I must do a little movie of such.
I have been using a $70 plastic microscope from jaycar.
I got it for my daughter but made the mistake of showing her live dust mites...they put her off...stopped me getting a better unit.
Still this little thing had a camera and great for starting out if you keep mag down.

I recall copper sulphate as being a very effective desiccant.
When heated the blue crystals form a white powder and is frequently used in laboratory desiccators.
