MicrobeHunter.com Microscopy Forum

Hello all,I have been around various microscopy forums and facebook groups for a while, mostly facebook so some of you may know me. I have been finding facebook distracting and unhealthy recently so I have decided to register here instead. My name is Penny and I live in the UK, I have a collection of microscopes ancient and modern.
I am presently trying to culture some stentor in boiled pond water- I shall see how it goes.
I attach a picture of a stentor which I took yesterday for fun.

Welcome, Penny! Impressive collection of old microscopes. Looked for the modern but did not find them...

Ah, well by modern I mean not brass. Cooke, Vickers. Nikon S etc. I have lot of 1950s to 1970s microscopes. I think my most modern microscope is a Leica DM which I rescued from a skip. It is in perfect working order but I hardly ever use it because it's too large for my bench which is taken up by my beautiful Vickers M4000 and Gladys. I take most of my photos on my Zeiss Universal, aka Gladys.

Welcome Penny!,

Good to see you finally came to this forum!..

The Best,

Welcome Sonequa..I mean Michael Burnham..uh..Spockssister..hmmm..Penny. You will enjoy this forum.

Welcome fellow human! I enjoyed your postings in forum: Microscope...but , sigh, yahoo became too demanding of user ID/ user info...sigh..in the thick of all the hacks of requested personal info...sigh.

Thanks for a great Stentor image, Penny...due I detect a hint of blue-green coloration in your imaged guest ( as for Stentor coruelius species (?sp?)?


I am glad you give a kind greeting to all in this great microscopy forum. Welcomr, Penny! Charlie Guevara, finger lakes/US

Hi Charlie! I remember you. The yahoo groups did become a little tedious, I still get two thousand or so emails a day from Yahoo despite repeatedly unsubscribing. They have their own special spam folder.
Yes, Stentor coeruleus. Very pretty. I shall take more pictures and edit them a wee bit later on.

Hi Penny, I was desertrat2170 over there at Yahoo. I still look at postings over there, but don't post anything there anymore.

Strange, Yahoo never demanded much personal information from me, and I don't get any emails from them. I wonder what I did or didn't do?

Then again, some of the personal information I gave them when I set up my account there wasn't.....accurate. Shame on me!

Welcome to the both of us.
