I switched toLED On my BH2 BHTU.I think the photos are better. I sold a microscope to someone in histology, and they wanted halogen, because specific features showed up better with halogen. Just depends on what your doing.

Looks like peritrichs and Rotifers. Might try adding a few drops of milk or hay infusion. Might help more ciliates to divide.

I used the inaturalist app and found it very useful.

I had trouble with my 5D mark ii being able to control lighting using the EOS Utility. It cleared up when using live display mode on EOS. Now I’m happy with lighting and brightness.

Bdelloid is the closest I can come to the rotifer.

I was just lucky. It held still for 5 quick shots.

First picture from SM LUX Phase microscope. Finished tsk8ng it apart cleaning and lubing. Now a lotof glass cleaning.

I think the first rotifer was synchaeta.

It doesn’t have the three prominent cirri posterior. Could be the changes it’s going through.
I have a video of frontonia dividing. I’m trying to find a video of conjugation.

Stolonychia going through cell division sped up double speed.

I’ve tried different modes and all the metering settings. It still does the same thing. I think it just may be inescapable.

EOS 3.12.1 worked with my canon on Catalina. I read it was a fix for older canons on Mac.

I have a Canon D5 mark ii. It’s attached to my Mac and I’m using EOS Utility 2. The problem is that the camera always compensates for the changes In light I make on the microscope. It limits some illumination techniques. Does any one kno2 how to keep this from happening. When I turn up the light on ...

Very unique. I’ve never seen this happen. I wonder if it could be some type of conjugation.They are both sexual and asexual.

I have never seen this type of rotifer. Really nice

I ever noticed the spelling of you’re. You’re right. I fixed the spelling.Thanks Phill

The I put a filter holder on the bottom of my condenser. I start with conden...

This is another with field diaphragm closed more. Causes blue color background

I think this is a very interesting technique. I’m go8ng to try it. I have some linear polarized film and a few diffent retarders. I really like the pictures of the diatoms.

I have a tank with algae in it. I find this filose amoeba group to be rather confusing. It also looks like nuclearia, a creature that lives in a foggy area between animals and fungi. Fascinating

Might be Vampyrellidae. Any help appreciated.

I’ve used mica as a retarder. It works well, but limits the colors you see.
