MESH in microscope

Some time ago I bought a toy microscope as a gift for my godchild. Of course it had to be checked :-) and it turned out that it is very well suited for investigation of different vape-stuff. For the first one went the vape mesh. I bought a couple of sheets from The Vape Mesh Company (TVMC. formerly The Mesh Company - TMC) and checked what exactly the strange symbols mean...

MESH #200
(quote from TVMC: #200 mesh - 200 wires or holes per linear inch)
200 wires/inch = ~8 wires/mm


MESH #325
325 wires/inch = ~13 wires/mm


MESH #400
400 wires/inch = ~16 wires/mm


MESH #500
500 wires/inch = ~20 wires/mm


As we can see everything is correct, only #200 has one wire per mm more than it should. But it is not a big problem.
At this moment you might say SO WHAT? Why did you write this topic?
So, I write it because there is a total mess in the vape mesh market: you never know if you get what you paid for. I bought a lot of different mesh from different shops and maybe half of them kept the specification. Even those purchased in reputable shops sometimes were mistaken ... Fortunately, you can initially recognize it organoleptic:
* #200 is DEFINITELY the most gentle and softest to the touch, almost like a synthetic clothing material,
* #500 in touch and stiffness is similiar for something like a thin sheet of aluminum.
