Type of Microscope to view parasites?

Hey guys.

Anyone here know a lot about parasite examination under microscopes?

I am pursuing to purchase a microscope.

I am wonder, which type of scope and magnification requirements, lighting, etc would be best to view parasites.

I am interested in examining blood smears, fecal matter, semen, mucous coughed up from the lungs.

I am also interested in examining these:




The so called "Cottonballs With Legs" .

I am interested in a digital microscope with USB cord that I can plug into PC, and view live images and capture photos of specimens this way.

I have Windows 8 operating system, so I need a scope with Windows 8 software compatibility.

If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it.

I suffer from Chronic Lyme Disease, and am going to get to the bottom of the Lyme-Nematode connection.

The cottonballs with legs parasites are nothing of known literature. I am researching them, this is my first step.

The only scope I have at the moment is a handheld 100x scope, which I can clearly see under that, the only problem is I cant take photos of what I'm seeing to prove it..

Thanks for anyone with knowledge on this.

God Bless you all.
