The good thing about microscopy is that the equipment is relatively cheap. I picked up a good used Olympus CH2 for $300. I like looking at fresh water life and scum in gutters. Summer is the best time for this as things seem to get a bit quiet in winter. Never been into diatoms or preparing slides. I have tried insects but the small depth of field in a standard microscope is a drawback. In retrospect, I may have been happier with a good stereo microscope.
