looks yummy , unfortunately i don't have a polarizer but i will try to make one.

hello guys

some tasty potato starch grains under my microscope at 56x and 315x
(i have a ( 90x MN, 1.25 ) objective but no oil ) so i dont use it .



thanks

thanks jimT , i have about 5 photos but all at 56x . i thought 315x would be too much . this one is good : It is very good. Here is another site on how to make a simple microtome you might want to try.; http://www.microscope-microscope.org/activities/school/microtome.htm thanks jimT , i will try it...

wow! amazing photos .

hello guys

i found some shelled amoeba in my fish tank water and
this one looks rather special.



thanks.

thanks vasselle , i will try to take another video with him moving.

it looks very nice, thanks for sharing

That is very good!... I don't feel that 315x would be too much.. You could crop the photo to show an interesting section.. What did you slice this with, if I might ask?.... BillT thanks billT , i will make another specimen at 315x and post it 8-) i sliced with just a normal really sharp razer blade .

JimT wrote:Quite nice. Do you have any stills of the stem?

thanks jimT , i have about 5 photos but all at 56x . i thought 315x would be too much .

thanks

hello guys

this images was taken of parsley stem at 56x magnification
with my lomo biolam.
you can clearly see the vascular bundles , xylem,phloem, ( it took me some effort to make that thin ts section )



thanks

billbillt wrote:That turned out pretty well.. Thanks for posting... What caused the vibration near the end?..

BillT

near the end ( the second scene ) it was without a cover slip , i tried to make him move freely
because he seems to have a struggle with moving .

it looks very nice , thanks for sharing
where can i get some ciliate like paramecium or this one ?

thanks guys so much for help , but why haven't i found any normal amoeba in my fish tank
is shelled amoeba more common in fish tanks , or i could find normal amoebas if i looked carefully
and what kinds would i find ?

thanks

hello guys

a nice classic looking rotifer at 56x magnification
taken from my fish tank .

What is your camera setup and can you only shoot monochrome? its not monocromatic JimT ! , you can see the stomata cells stained in blue. but it appears that way for many things : 1- iam using an old lomo biolam c11. 2 - the lomo biolam is just equipped with a mirror not a light source. 3 - i dont ...

hello guys

i found this thing in fish tank ( i suspect its a diatom ) :



is it a diatom , why its so different from the other familiar looking diatoms

If you have potted plants try sampling the water in the drainage dish. Any mud puddle, birdbath, or pothole that fills with water can be a supply of interesting organisms. Any source of water that stands for a few days is a possibility. CE thanks Crater Eddie , i have 4 potted plants i will try to ...

hello guys

i wanna know how to grow some kind of a farm to get amoeba or paramecium basically some
of the basic protozoas (the non harmful ones) ? i know that i can find some in pond water but thats not available to me right now
