Some excellent resolution going on there bud. The mantle detail on Cymbopleura is fairly breathtaking!

[rnabholz]

Thanks Kurt.

It always helps when they are nice and big like that one.

Some nice Epithemia in the mix too.

[gekko]

Another superb set of diatom images. Excellent, beautiful work, Rod.

[billben74]

First rate images.
Fantastic detail and real beauty.

[lScopysScopegScope]

Whoa these are really cool. I want to learn how to take pictures like this.

[rnabholz]

Thank you gekko and billben.

Thanks ISSS.

It is pretty straightforward darkfield microscopy and imaging.

The Diatom part I have documented with lots of help from folks here in the "Doing Diatoms" thread.

You can certainly get there! Happy to help if I can.

If only it were that easy! I would be very happy if I could get images 1/10th as good But that is me. I bet ScopysScopegScope will, if he spends the requisite time and effort.

Gekko - we can get you there. I am the rough equivalent of a monkey with microscope, and I have seen you post many fine images so there is no doubt that you can certainly do diatoms!

I'm def going to get more involved with the photography. I just started the process of exchanging the scope I just got for a trinoc model with camera. Now that I've gotten a dose of the reality that is my slide making skills I think the darkfield kit can wait for me to save up for it after I get more of the basics down. There were also some little things about the scope that I was ready to fix myself but I won't turn down the opportunity for an exchange. I'm also getting really sick of trying to sketch what I see, I'm hoping it works out. If the camera is crap at least I'll have a trinoc ready for when I get a really good set up. Anyone have any experience with the Amscope MU1000 by any chance?

[billbillt]

These are very good.. Great sharpness and clarity.. Thanks for sharing!..

Keep them coming Rod they are a pleasure to study and gain information from, an excellent set of Algae from an excellent mounter. Thanks mate!

[rnabholz]

Thank you Bill!

My pleasure. Glad you are enjoying them exmarine.
