It also has a mechanical stage which (Mark Trent) recommends for counting (makes it much easier to move from one square to the next). But make no mistake, it is not a research grade microscope. It does work fine for counting yeast and you can make out the shape of bacteria using the 100X objective with oil, which takes a little practice <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1176874025674143/?comment_id=1181276745233871&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation with Mark Trent. 11/19/2015.]</ref>.
