Located some footage of several garden inhabitants. At this point, I was using a Tomlov DM15 digital microscope (the one that captured my imagination!).

The magnification numbers in internet digital microscope promotions are really overestimated. The actual potential magnifications are up to about 30X or so. I don't think digital microscope users often view through optical microscopes. I have several digital scopes and I love them but I use them for summary views of large subjects like insects or introductions to a more detailed view of leaves, etc..

Beautifully shot … and very well-observed.
You are clearly ‘in your element’
Thanks for sharing it.

@einman - I enjoyed that microscope, but 1) wow, was it shaky and 2) I needed MORE MORE MORE! But those garden bugs sure do cooperate when they're not spooked by us humans butting in!
@DonSchaeffer - At first, I thought those numbers were real, but even when I realized they were exaggerated, I was still happy with that tiny digital wonder. For larger things, like mosquito larvae, bugs, weird things attached to the back of leaves, it did the trick!
@MichaelG - It's funny how I had the video and photo stored in a file on my external drive, and when it was all brought together, it was like watching a drama! I really had fun making that video!
Thanks everyone for watching my little movie!
