My microscope

This is the microscope I used. Two of the objective lenses are missing in this photo. It has x4, x10, x20, x40 objectives and a separate 'photohead' tube. I bought two of these for an interactive display I am doing for the natural history museum in Brussels (Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences). I liked them so much, I bought another for myself. The photos were taken using my Panasonic camcorder. Not ideal, I know, but this is the only equipment I have that fits my microscope camera-adaptor. For two of the photos I fitted the microscope with a dark-field condenser to achieve the black background.
