I found a microscope lens which I made 10 vears ago when i was 14 yr old ..now I am a mbbs student and i can say its magnifying power is upto 40x..easily diagnose many diseases with this .it Can compete easily with microscope of thousands of rupee and i made it at home.

I wonder Indian education svstem never supports children creativity . No one never praise me for it..

The microscopic view of fleshy part of the same apple I recently posted skin section of.

The cells evidently do not fill whole volume -- there are pores visible. Where cells do not touch other cells, their walls are domed, otherwise touching surfaces are almost flat.

Cells themselves are quite big -- 200 to 300 microns in size, but the only prominent parts are starch grains. It seems that the cells almost fully filled with vacuoles, and I couldn't discern cytoplasm and nucleus in them.

Images captured:

Objective: 10x.

Camera: 5Mp usb webcam with 0.5x reducer.

Focus stacking: Zerene Stacker.

Gif animation: ezgif.com free online tool.

Addition of grid and scale bar: Fiji/ImageJ.

Has anyone used this specific microscope model for studying seeds or any type of macroremains? This microscope is supposedly oriented for technicians in those who work on repairing electronics, i know it's a stereo microscope like any other but I'm just skeptical and want to make sure it's suitable for that specific purpose, thank you.
