Notes: 

Got a very small starter of this.  We'll see how it does!

You will be required to provide photographic evidence and as much detail as possible about your project in this thread.
If your thread does not contain detailed enough photos  and information the MBI Council will not be able to approve your reports.

This is M. pusilla using a 10x objective and you can still hardly see it!  It is SO small

 
The 40x pic isn't very good since the table wasn't steady enough to focus on something so small
