More from our garden. This plant is on the black list for invasive species in Germany, maybe I should pull it out, only its so pretty (I think I probably have the wrong identification )

Almost run out of flowers but found this one in the forest while looking for mushrooms and interesting stones.

I also have a Bresser Infinity. I used a spare eyepiece and the adapter from my Bresser USB camera to connect my canon DSLR 4000d camera.

Hi John 'Guten Tag'

Hi Bob.

There is indeed many plant studies on this site.

See here for a linked list of all the posts on plant microscopy. A virtual Alladin's cave. From A to Z

HI Bob.
Posts about plant sections seem to get very high numbers of 'views', but I don't think there are many people actually making plant sections. There are not many posts on plants, most seem to be about pond life.

Another from the packet of rock samples:

Tigers Eye associated with Hematite.

Hi Gene,

Welcome to the forum. When you decide to sell your extra scopes why don't you give the members here a 'heads up'.

Thanks Scarodactyl for the identification and the very comprehensive explanation of how the various layers form. It came in a packet of rock samples I bought at the mineral borse. I have been trying to use https://www.mineralienatlas.de to search for the samples but as yet have not had much luck. If...

Another pic to whet your appetite.


Will let you know what it is when I find out.

Just acquired a new stereo microscope at a bargain price. Optika SFX 91 from a mineral borse (show) in Clausthal-Zellerfeld where we were attending a week long course on minerals (our third in the last two years). Half price made it an unmissable buy. Optika-SFX-91.jpg The very first image from the ...

Hi Thomas,

Congratulations on your new microscope, your enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air and thanks for the videos. I look forward to more exciting discoveries from the Thomas. schwartz studios.

Thanks for the link BillBillt

Hey John
Nice job 'Multi Colour Staining' I think you are going to start a trend. Lovely. Just got back from a 'working holiday' and to see this first thing is fabulous.
Many thanks

Hi Mickey I will keep my fingers crossed that it all works out with the new lens.

Hi Mickey. Yes my camera is setup. I used a spare eyepiece that I had to connect all the bits together. The view through the camera is about 5% smaller than through the eyepiece but I can live with that. See here for a comparison, the two images are 180 degrees apart:- http://www.microbehunter.com/m...

Out in the forest on Sunday and found this. It's amazing how many plants were used for medical purposes in the past.

HI Mickey welcome to the forum glad our posts were useful.

In order for people to help to need to state the basics: Where you found the sample and what the magnification is of the sample, at least. Without those two most basic pieces of information there is no chance of any help. They could be pollen grains, they could be spores, did you stain them or is th...

Hi welcome to the forum.

Hi David_b Thanks for the suggestion of ragweed. It was (and is) the correct flowering time for them, however from what I could find on the internet the Ragweed pollen is only 15-25 um in diameter which would rule out this enormous grain. If I am wrong on the size please let me know. I have to admit...

Hi John,
That's what I thought and the reason I decided to post it. I checked it out on PalDat and it looks exactly the same. The image under the scope was much clearer unfortunately the stack didn't turn out as good, I think I rushed it a bit. (was so excited Ha )

Reminded me of a pineapple.

Sweet Basil growing wild in the garden must have seeded itself from last year (we never planted it).

Pollen is an unusual shape:-

Edit included stem cross section

Thanks for the identification. We never went back to get a better sample.

Found some interesting pollen, (strange shape) looks much better under the scope however. Open the image in a new tab to see full size view:-

What do you expect to see from an aquarium with a 100x lens that can't be observed under a 60x? you wouldn't need to use oil at all.

Hi Mark Welcome to the forum.

The 'Standard Junior' if you look through the posts on this website still seems to be a popular oldtimer and well loved by it's owners.

Microbob,

I am sure whoever bought your Quelle-Versand microscope got their moneys worth out of it.

Good on you Dave, and we wish you many more years of fascinating microscopy. The average weekly wage in the UK as of June 2019 before tax is 505 pounds, so you would have 1515 pound to spend on a microscope today. Less tax of course, not a bad scope.
