Hi and welcome to the forum

Nice job well done!!!!

Strange "gipsplatte" in English means "plasterboard".

Hi Sarah & welcome

Hi 75rr Perhaps you are correct maybe we shouldn't kill all these microbes there would be a lot less humans on the planet and therefore more non humans, which would of course still die due to those pesky microbes which infect them. My wife say's what do I hope to achieve by this useless discussion a...

We all kill and absorb thousands of microbiological organisms weekly if not daily in our bodies, why worry about a few in a microscope petri-dish? These microorganisms would not care (even if they had the ability to care) if they killed you in the process of their invasion of your corpus. Morals are...

Try this software control for windows 10:-

Hope this helps

Edit: Works fine on my windows 10 laptop.

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 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.
