Under the Microscope

[guidofatherof5]

I was fortunate to be able to buy a microscope a month or so back. So I thought I would start this thread. I will post captured images from time to time and will also take request as to what you would like to see.
When the opportunity arises I will be posting a garter blood sample and fecal sample.
I am using the:
Celestron Pentaview LCD Digital Micrscope (44348)



This first image is the brille(lens cap) from a recently shed skin (T.radix) It appears the brille takes a little bit of damage between sheds.
This was taken at 10X.

Fascinating and educational.

something many people would never get to see otherwise.

Very nice. A microscope is on my list of "educational instruments for Joseph".

Is the photo of the lens cap taken with transmitted or reflected light? Presumably it's also unstained? You're in for a lot of fun with this microscope.

excellent, that really good!
my partner has a microscope set up on his pc, (or did have)
We got some pond water from outside and had a look, I will be washing my hands thoroughly after going near the pond!
this is amazing, all of these videos are from one lens with a drop of pond water, amazing how much life!!

Very interesting, still looking for one of the magnifing lights you showed.

I found mine on craigslist. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the items but the price make the wait worth it.

Ok, you got me hooked to this thread.

I just hope I can use it well enough to make it interesting.
