Really nice, thank you!

That's one of the most important functions of a microscope in my opinion, seeing things in a new way.

What kind of hardware do you use for video capture?

[Sir]

Thank you all for your kind words

What kind of hardware do you use for video capture?

I'm currently using a Canon M50 with an AmScope T490B-DK, though I changed the original objectives with the plan ones that AmScope sells.

You had me, there

I assumed that Don Ho must have been some legendary optical guru whose name had escaped my attention.

But: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Ho reveals the truth

He was a legendary Las Vegas guru, who until this morning had thankfully escaped my memory.

Nice, good quality!

[PeteM]

Thanks for making and showing that.

Can you tell us a bit about how you prepared and imaged the sample?

Agree! Very nice blacks

Sure! It really was as simple as putting some foaming hand wash on a slide with a cover glass. Alternatively, you can put a little bit of soap and water in a plastic bottle and shake it to produce foam/bubbles. Since the bubbles move quite slow most shots were a time lapse, but I also put a drop of alcohol on the side of the cover glass sometimes, which causes the bubbles to pop rapidly.

Very nice video indeed. Nascent cell membranes??

Sir, I wasn't able to get your beautiful complex shapes, but I did enjoy making this stacked image on my SZ7. Soap bubbles rule!
