Nice article, great invention, thanks modem  :)
Every beekeeper should have one in his/her truck. Easy to replace if lost or broken.

2000 times magnification..    IIRC it takes about 4000 to see Nosema spores?  Been a long time since I read that, over two days so I don't recall for sure..  :P

Nice article.  The inventor received a $100,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.  That's great.  Take that! all you Bill Gates bashers!
