Interesting to think back on the evolution of computers. Nice history of the final image. JimT

Bacteria not captured in these images as they move in and out of focus so quickly and are rather uninteresting to photograph.

Nice diatoms.

This is one root strand and leaf cells from green moss that grows between the crevices in the bricks in my patio. Moss is small. Leaves are only one mm long so cells are about 25um's. Lots of bacteria (Cocci?) visible. 40X Obj., 10X EP, eyepiece projection Canon 60D.

Would be nice to see detail in each cell. Nice images. Makes me want more:-) JimT

Comme d'habitude très bonnes images. Qu'est-ce que le mélange de glycérine? JimT

Great photos! JimT

Pawab, in order to see opaque subjects you need a source of top; incident lighting. One simple way to do this with a compound microscope is to position two goose neck lamps-one to a side to light the subject from above. With such an arrangement however you will be restricted to the 4x and 10x object...

Thanks. Further investigation confirmed they can live in dry environments. I believe it is a Philodina. Glad it isn't from my drinking water

Uneven lighting maybe. Do you use Photoshop? If so experiment with white balance and layer masks for the yellow section. JimT

Found a maple seed "wing" today and here is a small section at 100x-10x obj, 10xEP, and eyepiece projection with dark field. Drop of water added. Looks like a rotifer and there were several. This "Wing" was dry for several months-I hope. It was in a crevice of my car door which I hope is not damp. N...

Welcome to the group. Good place to learn. JimT

My two cents; don't get another turret. You will spend too much time switching the turrets. Instead, replace the 100x OI with a 60x dry. I did and use it a lot more than I used the 100x. You can always reinstall the 100x if you want to get really close. My set up is 4x, 10x, 40x, and 60x with a 10x ...

Chambre voler les oeufs? Très bonnes images. JimT

Looks like an alien to me BTW, 30x image is better. JimT

Great stack and good choice of lighting.

Merci.

Thanks and oops! Green background, red center spot. JimT

As per QCC's question about relative or pretty here is a downy feather at 100X eyepiece projection-10x obj, 10x Ep, D60 Canon.
Not intended to be "Pretty" but just as an interesting micro photo. To me it looks like pine needles.
Red background/ green center spot filter. JimT

Depends on the intent. Lab work should be "Relative" and of interest to technicians. Microscope images can be "Pretty" and enjoyed by many. However, both can be both. JimT

Belles images. En Amérique, nous acheter un Tylenol. JimT

Belles images. Bien fait.

JimT

Looks like a tan pug nose dog.

Good colour. Do you have focus stack software? What camera setup?

Belles images.

Didn't know they could be asymmetric. Beautiful image.

Lettuce stalk iodine stained with 40x obj. USB camera.

Yes but not as thin as I would have liked. Several cells thick.

Whatever, wouldn't want to find it in my bed! JimT

Merci. JimT
