Powdery mildew - An easily exterminated parasite

Hay Joe, I’ve got a microscope question. I’ve got a school lab scope I got from the local university surplus. It’s got 4x lenses, 4/0.1, 10/0.25, 40/0.65, and 100/1.25. I don’t know what any of that means, lol!

When I looked at pm infested pot leaves w/ the 4/0.1, I could see what I assume is hyphae… white, wispy tentacles. The other lenses don’t give such a clear view, at least to me.

All your shots show black sort of spots in seas of green/yellow that look nothing like what I see.

No camera on mine so I can’t show… plus I don’t have any more pm to scope!

Anyway, I must be missing what you’re trying to show, can you explain that a little more?
