Are you anywhere near MTSU? I'd contact some folks in their Biology department (emphasis on plant sciences) for some guidance. You might find someone extremely interested in what you're doing.

Attached in a link to their Biology faculty. You can click on their names to find out what they specialize in.

rhizo, thanks for the reply and the link. I did as you suggested and e mailed Dr. Amy Jetton asking her opinion. Hopefully I will hear back, sometimes people are too busy to take time to answer e-mails from someone they do't know, but we'll see.

I'd try other faculty, as well. And don't give up, this is a time of year when faculty might be off on vacation, etc.

I live in MD, and our Cooperative Extension Service did a workshop on interior plant pests at a conference for landscapers. They had some terrific microscopes and were very helpful and approachable folks. Perhaps your state is similar?
