Hi all, I added a few pictures of slides I made to my folder. Comments welcome. Pictures were taken with a simple digital camera (HP Photosmart 417) handheld...
Good Morning All. I have some samples from a local pond which have a few mm's of very fine silt at the bottom of the tube. I can pick-out the larger creatures...
Hi Alessandro, I have been using the Panorama function in Adobe Elements 4 for assembling Mosaics. It is probably the same function as the one in CS2, unless...
David, I would use a well slide which will hold many drops and can be easily dumped and refilled. This will allow you to work in the neighborhood of 100X-400X...
Hi Mel, iMerge can work in Colour or Monochrome mode - there is a menu option to switch between them (View->Monochrome). Since working in colour is slower and...
Hi, Mel, I do not know if the mosaic function of Adopbe Photo Elements and Photosop CS2 are the same function. If yes, I think it is more then adeguate for...
Hi David, that's a classical problem you have. Now, generally sand and silt is heavier, so it will sink quickly; you could try to pour off the critters after a...
David... a couple of thoughts. If you keep the sample in window light (not direct sunlight) and "float" a coverslip on the surface for a day or so you will...
... David, You have got a lot of good ideas. To try your idea of growing them on a cover slip lowered in the silt. Boil some potato pieces with the skin still ...
Hey Gordon, that's a bloody briliant idea! Defenitely going to give that a try at some stage, must work great for fungi and the like. At work we are very...
Hi David, Its already a good job. If your points do not move 180 degrees, then it is really in the camera and the IR filter as you say, you cannot rotate....
... David, This is probably a silly question, but have you tried asking Google about "cleaning digital camera sensor"? That query provides hits to several...
Hi Emile It is joined to the ccd chip can not reach it very will shutter and its housing in the way i have looked at it with a webcam can see the spots but can...

Normally, if a swimming protozoan bumps into a Vorticella cell the stalk contracts immediately and the cells stops filtering. It might take half a minute for...
I -think- I read somewhere (probably in 'Life at Small Scale' by Dusenbery, a very good book, and cheap at www.bookfinder.com) that vorticella, under under...
Hi Yvan, That's a nice collection of microtomes you are gathering up. I hope unlike most of the rest of us you use them to make slide with. Very few of use go ...
Nice work Yvan, unfortunately i'm not much into histology. You made those sections yourself? The images do come up a bit light on my monitor, probably ok for...
Don, I appreciate your detailing this behavior, and providing the link to the video. Steve's suggestion seems to make sense. I came across something similar a...
Hi David, I do use cotton whool and alcohol, but I use very little and I do only use it on optic which I do know will not be affected by this product. This...
I have added photos to DanH album (danrx12000) with an unknown. More than the unknown, I want to show what I have learned about lighting with my microscope....
Steve: As an long time vorticella observer, I will concur with the thinking that they do loose their "urge to contract" under frequent stimulation. Sandy ... ...
It -was- Dusenbery, pp 190-191, in his Chapter entitled 'Learning'. He describes differences in 'learning' behavior by attach substrate (vorticella act...
I've been trying out a recently acquired Ortholux I (black). It has the following objectives: 3.5/0.10 (170/-) Leitz 5/0.10 Nikon 10/0.25 (170/-) Leitz APO...
... Welcome to the group, What does the 10 x objective say one the barrel. There could be two problems and everything be OK. The 10x objective could be the...
Hi, I am not familiar with the workings of the Ortholux, but I am familiar with the workings of its big brother (or should that be sister) the Orthoplan. It ...
