hello rnabholz
make diatom samples can earn money?

There are a few people out there who offer cleaned diatoms for sale at what i would call modest prices for the effort involved.

I guess it is possible, but I would say that it is not a get rich quick scheme by any means.

hello rnabholz
what sample is the best sample to test microscope's ability(which microscope is better)?is it diatoms sample?

Diatoms are often used to test resolution.

The 8 form test plate on this page is a good one.

hello rnabholz
this topic is too long to understand for me. did you finally found a way to purify diatom?
i want to make Diatom Resolution Test Plate and sell in china to earn money,can i do this and can you give me some information?

Literally everything I know about collecting, cleaning and mounting diatoms is contained in this thread, that was the entire purpose of posting it.

I don't know what else I can tell you, and I certainly don't know anything about the viability of a business involving the selling of diatoms in China.

I wish you well.

Rod

Read through 17 pages of this thread.... maybe time to revive it?

I treasure Rod's original thread as a great and comprehensive introduction to diatom processing at home.
Why not start a new thread ? the beautiful photo of the large round diatom justifies it !

This thread really ought to be made a 'sticky', as Rod did a fantastic job of documenting his work and the result is a treasure trove for the beginning diatomist. And the world needs more diatomists.

So....

Continue this thread or start "Doing Diatoms Part Deux"?

Edited to add: "Doing Diatoms- Part 2" is now located here on this forum: https://www.microbehunter.com/microscop ... 10&t=18120

I would go with staying here if you give some where and how information.
As is, it's an image of a diatom which is images and videos.
By all means add an image of the slide and collection site, unless it's eBay and a post box which would be a new thread also.
Happy diatom hunting wherever you find them.

我从去年开始在某鱼平台购买硅藻玻片，从最初的35元人民币每片，到最近的70元（可以看我的发布的图片），如果您可以做到更有性价比，作为消费者当然欢迎。

按照我的理解，如果您靠此为生，估计很难，国内市场现在还太小了....

最好的问候

哈哈，我那时候还是只菜鸟，我以为做硅藻玻片很简单，事实上我只是随便问问，我根本什么都不懂，我并没有花任何时间金钱在硅藻玻片上。
