Hi from PA, USA

[Jkelley1000]

Hi,
Mr. Kim's many videos on YouTube led me here. I'm retired and have loved lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. since I was a kid - I know that's kinda weird but I suspect you might understand.
Anyhow, I just got a modest OMAX trinocular microscope and 5MP. The image quality blows me away and I have mastered dark field -- and now, my photomicography is getting better and better with each session.
Many thanks again to Oliver, his efforts do not go unnoticed! Here's a recent photo stacked with Toupview

Take good care,
Jimmy

Welcome, Jimmy

Your 'weird' is our norm, I believe
and I would venture to suggest that the lovely 3Dimensionality of your image demonstrates one of the best justifications of [current] hobby microscopy: That level of 'rendering' used to be the stuff of SEMs, and now it's 'accessible'.

Hi Jkelley1000, welcome.

That is an amazing image of a radiolaria.
I take it you inverted the original darkfield image.
Is it Anthocyrtium hispidum?

[Jkelley1000]

Thank you both.

No that's a brightfield photo- but you have a great suggestion there!

Anthocyrtium hispidum? I never bothered looking it up but I'm going with your ID.

Well, I took 75RR advice and inverted and then shopped the hell out of the pic I posted. Thank you for the idea. Can't figure out how to attach a file yet (tried a couple ways) but I is a professional and have been in the IT bidness my entire life. I'll work through it, don't worry about me.
Here's the URL with apologies for making you click. Hahahaha

I think you can be very pleased with yours.

Great links MichaelG - I am only beginning to understand what can be done with a simple microscope these days.
Hahahahahaha easy to remember - my brother's name is Michael G.

I like both the BF and inverted BF. Very pleasing!

Hahahahaha, ya know I was just thinking about taking a photo of Anthocyrtium hispidum Haeckel. Or maybe I am just quick with the copy command and long on Irish Blarney.
Seriously, that is beautiful! The photos I have seen in here set the bar very high. What a treat to find MicrobeHunter. I love surrounding myself with folks who are smarter than me!
