Update to last answer by "bugs": We would use a light microscope. Bread does have electrons (all matter has electrons), however the fungal growths that cause mould are an appropriate size to be seen under the light microscope. We only use electron microscopy when the item is too small to be seen under a light microscope. For example, if we wanted to see the mitochondria of a cell, we could not see it under a light microscope as it is too small to practically zoom into, so we use electron microscopy as it gives us a better resolution image. Electron microscopy has nothing to do with the electron content of the sample. It is in the operation of the device. The device scans the sample with an electron beam. The electron content of the sample doesn't matter, although all matter does have electrons (unlike as stated in the above answer).

Initial answer:
i think it would be a flourescence microscope because it doesnt have electrons or sumthin like that. i honestly am not sure. but heres MY answer. --bugs.//
To actually see the macrscopic or gross 3D mold or hyphael structure on the actual piece of bread, you would use a compound microscope. To individual spore, use light microscope.
Totally a compound microscope.
A compound microscope would be best if you want to see all the organisms in that drop. A simple microscope would not allow you to see as much.
you could use any regular microscope that has magnification up to 400 but the best type of microscope to use would be an electron microscope if you could afford one
I would not recommend eating mold as some of it produces harmful toxins plus I don't think it would taste very good. Some forms of mold are used in food production and for medicinal purposes. Molds used for these purposes are normally grown in a very controlled environment. The mold Penicillium chrysogenum is used in the production of the drug penicillin.
a compound light microscope your welcome nope it is transmission electron microscope
scanning electron microscope

No, as the mould contains mycotoxins which at best will make the pig sick, at worst will kill them.

It can be found pretty much anywhere; their spores enable dispersal to a wide variety of habitats. The best places to look, though, are moldy bread, moldy oranges, and nutrient agar plates that have been exposed to the air for a few minutes.

Bread mold grows incredibly fast. Strawberries and tomatoes are also easy to become moldy.
