Second video pretty much clinches it. It is a Diatom with Brownian motion. Surprising.

... so you have a chance to revise your post if you wish.

Ha! Knew you were psychic. You are finishing my sentences. ;)

Lastly..please opine of what purpose is the robo-pause of submitted posts which states:'another post has just been submitted, do you wish to review that post before you submitt your post?' I believe it is there in case the new post has information that relates to what you were about to post, say it...

Not seen two together either. Agree it was worth 40 seconds of my time ;)
Some interesting looking alga there, you should try and get up close.

That was unusual

Zeiss Standard page like that!

Not quite like that. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=773#p4935

Thanks for the treat.

Warning - Hijacking thread! (Hope you do not mind too much) :) I do have a LOMO NA 0.95 40x with correction collar (which is a copy of old Zeiss Jena) coming to me from Russia and will comment on collar setting when I receive it. Most interesting! Will that work with a Zeiss KPL eyepiece? What is th...

Microscopic crop circles? Possible, only problem with that is the size of the aliens - could they really be that small? Doesn't that make space travel that much longer? Then we have the size of the microscopic wheat field, not to mention calculating the EEC farm subsidy for something that small, ca...

2.5, 10, 40, 100 I really want a 63 & a 16 My current turret has a 6.3x, 16x, 25x and a 40x, or at least it did. A 63x would be nice. Be advised though that the working distance of a dry 63x is 0.09mm In practical terms that means that you can normally switch from 6,3x to 16x to 25x to 40x but prob...

Nice images of conjugating paramecia I think, and if so, they may still need the ring :).

Good point gekko.

How is Boris taking this?
That is where Dr Frankenstein went wrong. Suggest you pat him on the head next time you see him.

Always a privilege to see new life. Like how they get obviate the expensive ring and and the mother in law and just get to it.

75RR, it is an image of pineleaf, and the objective used was a 40x ;) .

Impressed by your psychic abilities. How are you with lottery numbers?

Hi charlie,
did you download the link I posted above? It is not a course, it is an excellent book. Download it!!!

Here is the link again: http://www.biology.uoc.gr/courses/BIOL4 ... s/book.pdf

First I would like to congratulate you on putting everything back together. Had a quick look at the photos you uploaded to photobucket via your link - great looking arrows - I imagine they are there as part of your queries to Charles. Have to admit you lost me on the chop sticks. As to your image a ...

Excellent images of these graceful creatures.

Nice image. Very tight fit!

Hi Dale,
gekko partially asked what was on my mind, as I was wondering what you meant by

Charlie, I am aiming for an E600.

Are you thinking of buying a Nikon E600?

Very good detail on something that small. Are the DIC colours close to the original?
Always surprising the colours that POL brings out.

Nice. Good catch.

You are successfully combining interesting with beautiful. Well done

Punk hair?

Do they have other magnification camera adapters?
If you raise the adapter a little, what effect does that have?

Thanks charlie g
They just happened to end up in my sample jar.
Didn't do anything, apart from keeping it overnight in a slide mailer. Microscope light must have triggered it.

Many thanks rnabholz and JimT ... you better get rid of that spore before you have a tree growing in your house There's a thought. Water and light - Nature's Abracadabra! Never would have thought of polarization but great additional information. Trying to make it a habit to at least look at everythi...

Nice. Good range of colours.

Very nice. They are both fun and challenging to photograph.

I believe Bugone's Watson micro system 70 microscope has a binocular head and he is using the camera in his telephone. I would suggest a point and shoot with an optical zoom function and a compact digital camera mount. If possible borrow several cameras from friends and relatives to try out - some w...
