Soil

In recent years much attention has been made about the condition of the top soil not only in our gardens but more importantly in commercial farming. It is now well understood that there is a balanced food web in our soil with four main components ensuring good and healthy growth of plants these are fungi, bacteria, nematodes and protozoa. These represent natures operating ecosystem and to ensure they are present in the necessary concentrations soil microscopy is essential.

There are now a growing number of online ‘schools’ offering courses in this this very ‘green’ technology. We have no direct experience about the value of individual courses however we do understand the microscope specification that almost all are recommending and have tabulated this below. All three of the suggested microscopes exceed the recommendations. The SP52 which magnifies up to x600 is an ideal choice, it meets the exact criteria. The SP60 has even better semi-plan objectives and the SP100 even better again with plan objectives. Budgets are a personal choice but the SP52 on its own meets and even exceeds the specification itemised below. All our microscopes have an iris diaphragm and are therefore capable of ‘shadowing’ which some of the soil courses call the effect.
