I like the little guys. Great image.

Voici de très bonnes images de plumes

Sharp et coloré.

World class images.

Nice images. Nice detail. Love the pacman

Really nice. Love the bw.

Top class. Interesting to see your water immersion.
I've often wondered why they aren't more common than oil lenses.
It may simply be tradition.
I get the resolution thing but the waters seem more practical
for most purposes.
Yours is working beautifully.

Very nice. I like all of them. I think for me 1,4 and the last one work best for me.

Really nice both in terms of revealing detail and being very beautiful.
Nice to be able to compare as well. Love the glowing eye on the polarised using the retarder
A treat.

More delights from the kingdom fungi.

You have really nailed this one.
Pleasing colours, and sharpness.

Very nice image.

Apologies for late reply.
Many thanks gekko, johann, billbillt and hkv.

I agree with the sentiments about polarised light.
Given you can sort it out for a few dollars its pretty amazing.

Very nice, "atmospheric" images.

Lots of interesting detail too. Agree about cracked eggs.

Wow. Really nice.
You are getting some decent differentiation with the blue/red.
Really love the second one.
Nice work.

Nice cyclops. Great start on the stacking and stitching front.

Still liking your pollen pics.
This is one has a pleasing 3-d aspect.

Welcome to the forum. I'm with mrsonchus. Does look like a crystal. Pretty tricky to ID most crystals. A) Lots of them look fairly similar. B) The same crystal can look very different. Like I said, tricky. Straight forward Sodium Chloride/Potassium Chloride tend to be more cubic. So perhaps more to ...

Wow. Really nice. I haven't seen the 5 pointed one before.
Possibly Triceratium formosum ?

Interesting exercise.
Many thanks.
I agree the meiji is the best performer.
Am I being silly when I say that the orthoplan corrects with a tube lens? Apologies if I'm not paying attention.

Very nice. Moss leaves are great subjects and this is very good (fairly amazingly good as its you first try).
On the stitching front Microsoft's Image Composition Editor is pretty amazingly good/easy and free.
Stitching does give you a whole extra dimension in composition.

That is a very nice botanical image.
Its very much at the level where you can keep on staring for some time....
Nice work.

Very nice single shots.

You have done well then.
It looks good and the blurry background is pleasing.
Nice and sharp foreground

Many thanks JimT and mrsonchus for your kind words.

Very nice.
Keep 'em coming. Quite happy to look at art for its own sake.

Many thanks to zzffnn and RudiV for you kind words.

Hello all. Two more saccharine images. Smaller, just single stacks of about 30. x20 na 0.4 objective. Crossed polars. http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a448/billben74/2017-03-19-22.45.21%20ZS%20NiceOrangeCrystalSaccharine%20DMapColoursSharp1555_zpsakpskeb9.jpg http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a...

Not that you shouldn't get a incident based light microscope or anything but (just in case you didn't know and apologies if you do) you can view small objects via reflected light without a dedicated microscope. I do. I just use various lamps/goose neck things to light my subjects. I'm not saying the...

Very nice pollen images. Lots of nice detail especially on the first one
