Ive been looking online at different sites.im really interested now,and curious to see if it would work.ive been looking to see how they get the results from the swab testing and i see its either vaninal fluid or saliva on the slides....now,what kind of microscope do they use.i read on here someone used a kids one!can that be right?are they mixing the sliva with saline or just the saliva?
im thinking about popping to argos and getting a cheap microscope to see if it works lol....ive ordered my swabs from pat hawker so im covered but im interested to see how it works now....

they talk about a microscope being 10X or 100X.....whatdo u think or does anyone know how powerful the microscope should be....

It is just saliva that you dry on the slide and examine.

I have a 1200x microscope I got from Amazon some time back now, it wasn't too expensive, also use it to check the semen of my males before a mating to make sure they aren't firing blanks.

thanks for that do you think 900X will do the trick?
