Guidance on purchasing microscopes, especially for bryophytes/liverworts

Some of the suggestions here may be helpful for you:

I don’t know much about identification of these groups, but are you only looking at very small structures, like spores or single cells? I would think larger morphology would be important, requiring a dissecting scope or a good hand/macro lens.

I won’t say this is impossible, but it may be difficult.
