My name is Stanley please help me with the name of the microscope that I can use to view the microalgae structure and able to isolate a single strain.
Which structures do you want to see? How big are your microalgae? Which method do you plan to use for strains isolation?
A good light microscope to use for isolating algal cells is something in the Olympus CKX series.
I would recommend an inverted microscope with sedimentation chambers, so you won’t have to squeeze your algae between slide and cover glass. This also means you can use magnifications of 630 times, maybe even 1000 with immersion oil. Use both live samples and lugol preserved ones if your specimens are too mobile.
I agree with Nataliya. You need to give more details.
If you only interested in morphology then a good light microscope will be sufficient.
