Microscopy Forum

Hello, everyone. My name is Kimberly and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I became interested in microscopy while studying Biotechnology and combined it with my love of photography. I have an I-4 Infinity microscope. I am currently using the Minivid camera from Great Scopes but have also used my Sony W80. I haven't tried my dSLR (Canon T1i) yet. I just started printing my photos-for that I have a Canon Pixma ip4820 and a Pixma 9500 Mark II. Also, learning Photoshop. Digital is pretty new to me-I started photography back in the film only days. I am very new to all of this and look forward to sharing with and learning from everyone in the forum. Here are a couple of photos.

Thanks. I found a great photoshop course here in Phoenix at Pro Digital Image. It meets once a week for 4 (Sat 4 hours) or 5 (weeknight 3 hours) weeks. It really helped get me started. I didn't want to take a college course because I would be bogged down with homework and taking a bunch of photos that I'm not interested in – like portraits. If anyone is in the area and is interested here is the link: http://www.prodigitalimage.com/

I would like to get more training in microscopy, but like another forum member said, there is not much out there. I was really happy to run into the Microbe Hunter magazine and ordered all four copies.

Thanks, Oliver! I would love having my photos in the magazine!
