Having installed a new shower curtain; I cut a particularly mildewy piece out of the old one, and put it under my microscope.
This image was taken using the 10× objective and the 15× eyepiece. The scale visible horizontally across the field is built into this eyepiece; and when used with this objective, each numbered tick is 122 micrometers. The field of view has a diameter of approximately one millimeter, and with the particular camera that I used, each pixel in the image represents a square that is 0.407 of a micrometer on a side.
