Thanks Maria and Antonio, all these images are taken through my microscopes. I have a dissecting scope that ranges in Magnification from 4X to 40X. I do most of my dissection, and slide mounts with it. I have an old Olympus CH compound microscope which works great for biological purposes. I have developed a simple dissecting kit that i use for all my bryophytes I have a simple Sony "point and shoot" camera that i use to take all my photos. I haven't worked too much with fungus under my scopes, but i'd imagine you'd need a similar setup that I have. I can recommend good compound scope for you depending on your price range...
