Re: Zoo- and Phyto- Plankton
....during incoming or outgoing tide? Outgoing tide after quite a bit of rain and wind; only fish we caught were 2 sea robins. It'd be interesting to see biodiversity differences between incoming and outgoing critters. Also the density of toxic algaes. Is that pseudonitzchia I see in one of your sh...

I dragged a plankton net for 5 minutes in Shinnecock Bay, Long Island and was surprised with variety of my catch!

You can see more detail without polarization. And you add some interesting color/texture with some side light from a halogen illuminator....

Sand Grains
Inspired by heyitsmedusty's post on photographing micrometeorites, and while waiting for my magnet to arrive in the mail, I shot a few quartz sand grains from the beach (4 in polarized light) to practice my stacking skills. I know I will have more trouble with micrometeorites as they will be opaque....

Re: Canon Mirroless Adapter
Check if the canon adapter unscrews from your microscope adapter. If it does, I think this should work.

After seeing a recent post by Rob Beardon, I went out and bought the Everclear and amino acids. Then I drank all the Everclear and forgot what I was planning to do.
But i did have some success. Here are a few I liked. Cheers!

Re: Acheiving parfocal direct projection (APS-C) on the Wild M420
hi sreynolds: yes, i stacked a number of pics using HeliconFocus. It works well and is easy to use.
The Wild macroscope does have an iris that can increase the DOF at some expense of resolution. These were taken with the iris wide open I think.

more citric acid crystals
Inspired by Rob Berden's recent post, I tried melting citric and ascorbic acid crystals separately. I had good luck with the citric but trouble getting a clear melt with ascorbic. I then mixed the 2 and may have success but I will have to wait to see. I liked this citric acid pic. HNY to all!

I recently purchased a Wild M420 and Scarodactyl informed me that it was even easier to attach my Canon M50 mirrorless APS-C camera to the existing photo tube than that described here for a DSLR. That because the sensor is closer to the front of the camera. All I needed were the following. Both inex...

Re: Breaking the baffling B & L Balplan buffalo.
These Balplans sound very interesting. I noticed the strong similarity of the stand with my SZ7 R Stand, which seems very nicely designed and built. I also noticed that many of the Balplans on eBay are missing their condenser, I wondered why that was so. Cheers!
