Hi Dora Gum based media is covered here http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artmay03/wdpart3c.html ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I think the reason telescopes have tend to have more groups is quite simple, they only have one way to look (upwards) amongst us microscopists, there is a...
from Tim P (UK) Speaking of mites, has anyone seen the tiny mites that are said to live on one's eyelashes? I *don't know* whether this is folklore ! Tim P ...
Great topic. I've been thinking about this recently and have come up with some ideas as to why astronomy is more popular than microscopy among amateurs. 1....
Hi Tim, I have a book that contains some SEM images, and they are fascinating creatures, and _very_ common. The ones you refer to are probably Demodex...
These are all good points, but the situation could be changed. What we need is a series on a TV network such as Discovery or PBS with a title like "It's a...

... each ... advertise ... I think this is a very key aspect. The public perception of a microscope and microscopy I suspect is from what they mainly see on...
for me it wasnt untill i got into entomology i even realised that you could get a relativly good scope for the amount of money i could afford, i always asumed...
I wouldn't be so sure about wonderful views for under $1000. Many buy cheaper still and most 1st timers are disappointed by the view they obtain however much...
Thanks. That explains very well. Can you use other substances than gum arabic, and would any be available at a hobby shop? I've got to go to one later. Also,...

I wrote to him and asked if he really did such work, and if he really is chasing giant protists around on the sea floor, can he help me with how to find water...
As an outsider (non-biologist) I think some are missing the point. Compared to biology, astronomy is simple. The amount of information you can get looking...

A topic I am very interested in. I think there have been some very good points made already. I would add that I think we loose many people at the first hurdle...
