Having a blast with my new microscope

Some time ago I mentioned to my partner that I've always wanted a microscope as a hobby πŸ”¬ they saved some money and got a cheap one for me recently, and I'm having so much fun!

Pictured is the thin peel that's intimate with the garlic clove, stained with eosin (I think) and magnified x1200. It's great because it's already 1 cell thick 🀏

What are some tips you guys have for a beginner? I'm looking into buying methylene blue for staining too.
