Can you point me to a site that shows microbes in microscopic image? I am pretty positive I have the verticillium wilt in my yard and just got a new microscope, but I can't find images of the fungus.

Hi, i really don't know of any good sites to tell you to go to. Fungi are difficult to tell apart unless you get down to structure so fruiting bodies etc. And if you do have verticillium then the only real way to deal with it effectively is through the use of resistant varieites as this is a soil borne disease and treating the soil is just not practical for gardeners.
