Hi all, Looking to purchase a new microscope for our IPM program and am wondering if any of you can recommend an appropriate zoom magnification? I'm currently looking at one that 35x zoom, and another that's 40x zoom. The cost difference is quite significant (almost double), so I'd like to ensure I select the correct one, not just the one that suits financially.
I'd like something that covers a broad range of pesky critters, from beetles to booklice. Would 35x zoom magnification suffice? Any information and advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks! -- *Jennifer Bowser* Collections Management Assistant Museums and Collections Services *University of Alberta Museums* Ring House 1 University of Alberta Edmonton, AB Canada, T6G 2E1 T: 780 492 0775 F: 780 492 6185 E: bow...@ualberta.ca W: www.museums.ualberta.ca facebook.com/ualbertamuseums twitter.com/ualbertamuseums *[image: Discovering Dinosaurs] <http://bit.ly/1BWfec8>* *“This communication and any attachments is intended for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential, personal, and/or privileged information.
