Close-up with the 10X objective. Fluorescent light. Showing the small females (which were moving around)

The last image is a smaller female, just below 1 mm. In "poor man's" darkfield. I did not use a proper darkfield stop because I did not have one mounted in the condenser turret, but I instead set the condenser between two DIC positions having the metal frames of the DIC prisms act as a darkfield stop. Not very sophisticated, but I was somewhat surprised how well it worked.
