Just saw this in tescos amongst the Christmas novelties.  No idea how good it is but thought I’d share here

I bought something like this from a garage ages ago, thinking that by using the macro lens clip-on attachment I'd be able to get some better close ups of gills and pores (and to stop Mr H moaning about the quality of my photos)

 

Really simple to use, clip on the lens over the camera lens of the phone and off you go.

The attachment. Also came with another 'Wide angle' attachment.

I got a new microscope slide, it's a section through the axillary bud of a sycamore. The second picture is taken in cross polarised ight and the bright areas are likely to be cellulose. The gritty bits are likely to be starch granules.
