MICROSCOPE	Can't Post

Just got myself a USB microscope but not sure this will work as its only 200X magnificant? Would appreciate your comments as i have tried scraping one of my koi, seen nothing much mucus, of course dont hope to see parasite but just wanted to be sure.

most parasite can be seem at 100X, only costia need to have 400X, however due to their inmense activity, you can see a cloud moving and twisting with 200X. check everything that move in about 2 minutes away from fish body, that's parasite. after that, they all dead and hard to see since most of them are tranparent.

thanks samantha. Since i didnt see anything alien but merely mucus, i presume there isnt any parasite right? Neither did i see any cloud movement.
