   If you have a decent microscope and want to work on some citizen science that&#x27;s directly related to the research in this article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vanettenlab.org&#x2F;paulinella-consortium" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vanettenlab.org&#x2F;paulinella-consortium

      What is a “decent microscope”?

         Of course that&#x27;s a whole discussion but perhaps in the $300 range. Sounds like that&#x27;s what Dr. Van Etten herself was using when she first found one.

         She actually made some specific recommendations on the microscopy sub-reddit but they&#x27;re a bit pricier ($425+). (scroll to last comment by Jay211TF):
