Re: Hi, noob from Alabama here...
Captain_Howdy1, I hope you are not from Tuscaloosa:-( I have an Amscope and have had it for four years. I think for the price for someone just starting it is a great intro scope.

Re: Unfortunate Ostracod
Done that myself a few times.
"Note to self - use well slide if large ostracods are present!"
Problem then is how to slow them down.

Both are very nice videos but the “Zackenkrone Radertierchen – DIK 16x” in the lower left corner is distracting.

Re: Calcite Crystals
I use Combine ZP and have for years. First with Macro and now with Micro. Have tried others but am most familiar with Combine ZP and haven't seen a reason to switch. Took me a while to learn it but worth the investment.
I also recommend a dedicated camera. Do you have a DSLR?

Besides the alien brain image the polarized image really shows off the crystals. I think you will like the retarder plate.

Welcome Desertrat.
Quite a few of the members here were (are) also astronomers. I also gave up because of light pollution. Besides, we can do this at all hours of the day rain or shine.Here, there are big communities nearby and light pollution is bad.

Thnks. As I said I had to wait a bit until it slowed down. Many more in the jar but very little else. I wonder if they ate the other protists.

These were in a concave slide and yes I did have to wait until they got tired.

Two views of ostracods. The first is in dark field with the 4X obj. The second is in X polarized light with the 10X obj. to show the birefringence. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/jtallon2/IMG_0024-40X-JPEG_zpsgz2jmanw.jpg http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/jtallon2/IMG_0022-100X-JPEG...
