It's Fall and they are everywhere.
The specimen: What we call a Hard Maple Leaf. Approximately 70mm x 65 mm.Maple-Leaf_1.jpg

 

To all the real microscopist out there, please do not cringe. This is how the specimen was mounted.

Although the Maple Leaf can be viewed under crossed polars. there was little difference between Plane  and Polarized light. The 1/4 and full wave plates made only subtle changes to the image. All images below are under Plane Polarized light because I cannot remove the polarizer from the light path.

With the 4x obj. (Maple Leaf  L5P_09 4x.jpg)

With the 20x obj. (Maple Leaf  L5P_23 20x SS.jpg)

Due to the mounting method LaughEmbarassed, depth of field at 20x is rather limited. CombineZP , the Soft Stack macro and nine images resulted in  the version below.
