<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnT, post: 1598825, member: 38624&quot;]The lighting trick was killing me for the longest time, I finally invested a few bucks in a fixed magnification microscope (100x).&nbsp; A bit too much power for the job, but it helps to give a sanity check in such instances... also helps to determine if marks of interest are really pmd (which they usually are).&nbsp; If I had to buy again, I would opt for a 40x.&nbsp; If you have a low-res digital microscope as I do, buying a stronger fixed optic piece will reduce time wasted chasing questionable phantom varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
