Micky,
Yea I think you're right.

Apparently this species is useful in the field of forensic
entomology to determine time of death. creepy...

Micky,

The Flesh Fly on this website looks similar but not sure if it is a match-
Hi Dennis

that looks like a match to my untrained eye.
thanks

Hi Dennis apparently the beasty in question is Calliphora vicina.

In a sample I found this worm, it stayed so quiet it was possible to make a video of it.

Has that worm got diatoms inside it?

Hello
Is anyone selling a dome illuminator for a stereo
microscope please?..

Here are some of the critters in my 3 week old pond sample. I've kept the sample under a plant light 16 hours a day, and topped it off with bottled water when necessary. It's fun killing time looking through this sample a drop at a time. Shot with a 40x oil immersion objective using phase contrast....

I've been finding some very large amoebae in my water sample. It's fun speeding up their movement. This playback is at 7x speed. Shot with 40X oil immersion, phase contrast.

Thats amazing! where did you collect that creature from?

Hi All Can anybody please identify these items. The Stereo Microscope is old the company started trading in the 1950's We are having trouble identifying some of the items in the equipment box that was with the Microscope. There is no obvious place to attach some of the items in the box to the micros...

The video camera still has a shutter. Not the same type as a still frame camera but more of a spinning disc controlling frame speed. It could be affected by vibration and certainly by aperture.

OK , Thanks I will bear that in mind. I am new to this so any comments like this are helpful..

HI I am trying to figure out how to use my new camera. I am using a stereo microscope with a GX capture program with a 5mp camera through the trinocular port of my GMX Zoom1 head. Can anyone offer any suggestions please? . Before I get too confused by the discussion … could you please identify the ...

Hello all. I thought zzffnn's thread on stacking was a good resource for forum members (me included) so I after just making my first stitch (see my spider pic if your interested) I thought I should get the ball rolling with imageJ. So, as I mentioned in the the stacking thread, imageJ is free and m...

MickyFynn

I agree that there is something adding a bit of fuzz, although they are quite good for a modest set up. Better than I have ever done without fussing with the illumination forever. Down in the bottom of the last image, a wolf spider I guess, there is a half moon shaped area of lighter colour than th...

MickyFynn

Good colours. To me there is an effect that looks like motion blue. Sometimes shutter shock causes it, Can't think of anything in the setup that would give vibration other than manual shutter release. Use a timer or remote to sharpen up? There is no shutter on this camera just a 5mp c-mos sensor. I...

The top image had a little more processing and is a better I think. I am trying to stack images to get better

Home made Rheinburg filters from coloured spot light acetate and nail varnish ...

MickyFynn

Hi Don...
I was trying to make a Rheinburg filter. I now realise I need contrasting colours to make it work.

MickyFynn

Hi Don
are you referring to the Rotifer?..If so I used swiftview which came with the camera as a package with the Swift 380B Microscope I bought. The blue "stain" effect was acetate overhead projector film with some of my wife's blue nail varnish painted on it to make a filter.
