Hi all, I've been wanting to get a cheap microscope mainly just to look at my phyto culture.
I did some searching and so far, I'm kinda interested in the Swift SW150, Swift SW200dl, and AmScope M150C-I.
Even after searching, I have very little knowledge about microscopes and I wanted to ask for your help.
I can't figure out the difference between the SW150 and SW200dl. Is the SW200dl worth paying extra?
Is AmScope M150-c also a worthy candidate?
Is any one of them worth getting over the other or will they pretty much be the same?

I'm not based in the US so I may or may not buy from Amazon (it would depend on the cost of buying them locally).

I bought the AmScope then had to add the camera to it. Could never get my iphone to focus thru it.
 
I've already pull the trigger and SW150 is on its way from abroad.
But why is it that whenever you buy something, you find great secondhand deals (that weren't there before)? (;_;)
 
So far I'm happy with what I've got.
Here's a picture of Isochrysis that I've cultured.
