This is not exactly microscope photography but it is just next to it, shot with a macro lens. Hopefully we'll get a stereo microscope sometime soon and image this kind of creatures with it.
I hope you like it. I think these are all Opisthobranchia.

I'm calling these very excellent images for any age! I'd be proud too - I think this world needs more 11 year olds like that.
Thanks, he's glad you like them...Microscopy_is_fun wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 8:09 amThese are really amazing pictures, congratulation to your son! Where did you find those creatures?
Thanks for the details. Collecting samples, identifying the species, setting up the right lighting, taking pictures and afterwards image processing, that's quite an achievement for a 11 year old! In the internet, there are many pictures taken by adults, who spent years in macrophotography and don't even come close to the quality of your son's pictures!imkap wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 9:14 amHe found them all in shallow waters maybe 10-20cm. Goes in with rubber boots, turns the rocks and searches with a paintbrush. It is important to return the rock to the same position, so all the other life there can continue living... I think you need some practice to spot them, one could dive to find some too, but it is more complicated, especially in the winter. We live in Croatia, so these are Adriatic creatures, I suppose you can find these or some others anywhere.
Yes, he is quite determinedMicroscopy_is_fun wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 12:28 pmThanks for the details. Collecting samples, identifying the species, setting up the right lighting, taking pictures and afterwards image processing, that's quite an achievement for a 11 year old!

Beauiful images. What kind of lighting was used?imkap wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:15 pmMy son found, imaged and edited these, he's 11 and way more talented than I am. I'm kind of proud so had to post these.![]()

Actually these are shot with a 30mm macro lens and extension rings, no microscope. The creatures were maybe 5mm big, not sure exactly...
