approximately what magnification were you using for those shots?

Asking for my granddaughter for whom last year I got a microscope (actually a "stereo binocular" unit) to encourage her interest in science. Recently got her one of those gadgets that couples to the eyepiece for taking photos with a cell phone, so we'll see what happens. We don't currently own a good digital camera with adapters for doing that sort of photography.

A while back, I did a cursory reading on bug collecting and preservation and wow, what an art!
