Dictydiaethalium plumbeum ?! spores

hi clive, the microscope is relativ new. it was a set and i haven't buyed any additional asseciors. The Glass-slides which were in the set, aren't that good quallity. Because i'm new on this area, i don't really know, what you mean with "mounting medium". I use the "glass-slide", with a drop "Distilled water" , before the drop water, i prepare (spread,seperate) the object (slime mold fruitingbody), then the water on it. Then were in the set: hard-plastik-covers (plexi-glass-like) and soft-plastik-covers (shopping-bag-like). Don't know, when to use the soft-covers,therefore do use the hard-plastic one as COVER-slide. At this particulary spotting/microscope-specimen, was a lot of slime, they are covered in slime-water mix,maybe therefore the odd image. Dry/dehydrated should they not be! Also my usb-micro-oculare-camera isn't that amazing.
