About how large are they? What amount of magnification will be required to see them?

I have ordered them 3 to 4 times now I think. In all but one of them they worked out very well. I believe the 10 times magnification works the best. If you go up to much they are hard to locate on the slide. The 4 time magnification you may be able to see them, but on the 10 times scale you can see their appendages. If you get a very good sample and have patience, you can magnify even more to be able to see them in even more detail. But most of my students would lose track of them. My best experience one of my students started screaming, "Oh my god I SEE THEM, they are moving, Oh My God Oh My God!!!!"

Hi I am interested in purchasing and I was wanting to know how it'll come packaged?

It's been a while, so not sure --- I think it was a smallish clear plastic jar / vial with a screw top; all the tardigrades in the one vial, not crowded. Instructions were provided for removing a few at a time with a wire loop. In any case it was very satisfactory.
