---Finally got it all together, ACT sample (what I have left from
the major spill on the floorboard on the way to the lab, I thot I
could get here w/o a lid)and scope(X300,X75 and X150). [The bigger
stuff that was on top of the jar are in the carpet webbing now.]
Looks like the donkey kong cruisin' around at 75X magnification. and
some eggs rollin' around too.  and minute critters(dots) rollin'
around.  now let's look at X300.See slender rods there. some movin',
some not.My eyepieces are too dirty to use. any idea how to clean
them? water and air?  Gotta  find the manual next. Thanks
