That's awesome! It's fun to look at things under a microscope. Neat!

Extremely cool! Neat seeing the little thorn. Hornwort has that too
I got a new microscope I'll share later and tag you!

Please let me know if you spot any tardigrades!

Haven't found any yet! This summer plan to get a jar series going from collections of different areas in my area (pond, tributaries, main river channel, etc) to see what is found.

That sounds like a neat project - I should collect some water/plant samples from my pond, and see what all is in there! ?

I have a basic microscope and its fun to take water samples from random water sources and look at them... but living in Arizona, that's hard to come by... unfortunately.
