Microscopy provides direct observation of the bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes that determine soil function. In 10-15 minutes, you can assess whether your compost is truly beneficial, if your soil biology matches your crop requirements, or whether expensive amendments are actually improving biological activity.
This comprehensive course teaches professional soil microscopy techniques based on Soil Food Web protocols. You'll learn to set up and operate a compound microscope, prepare samples correctly, identify key organisms, and translate observations into management decisions
