Beautiful 'bear', and wonderful video clip, thanks BillP.! On my recent hunt for bear with my good doggies...I'd say I encountered the same species. Is your enhanced BF contrast a way of saying you used phase contrast? I think my DL phase objective views seem just like your image captures. thanks f...

I've always thought that Tardigrades were interesting creatures ever since first learning about them, but I had never seen one in the samples taken from my local pond. A few days ago I finally ran into one and made a little video about my encounter. (And NO, the thumbnail was NOT made by me!) rjlzVJ...

Kurt, I'm very impressed with your developing DIC skills and glad you are enjoying your new toys.

Thanks to Rod, Kurt, and 75RR for your kind remarks. I'm glad to be contributing again to this friendly and informative forum. Gekko, after reading a detailed and very informative comment on the video by Bruce Taylor (on another forum), it appears that you may be correct after all in calling what is...

Bill, very nice to enjoy another very interesting video from you after a long hiatus. Very nice! In my professed ignorance, I would guess that this was the same phenomenon as you showed in the "inset" video: cell division. But I hope an expert would enlighten us. Thanks, gekko! As for what we are s...

After not touching my microscopes for a year and a half, I was fiddling around with them in the last few days and made a little video. It's not likely to be interesting to you unless you are curious about reproduction in vorticella. I realized after the video was uploaded to YouTube that it had been...

To my old eyes, that first photo is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, seb.

JimT, Kurt, and gekko, even though I seem to have lost interest in using my microscopes, I still take a look at your forum from time to time to see what you guys are up to. I am happy to see that this forum seems to be doing just fine!

Thanks, Rod. It's been so long since I have posted on this forum, I couldn't remember how to put the video in the post, so I just included the link. Might have to dust the old microscope off and try to do another video or two.

Rod, nice sharp image of Closterium and I liked the videos as well. Nice job! I haven't done any microscopy in about a year and a half, but I searched through some of my old videos and found one I liked of Closterium. I never tired of watching those little crystals in the tips. DJs3oHKfBNE
