The balloting for "Chris's favorite bio hallway decoration" was a dead tie between this and the biochemical pathways wall chart.
Project 365. Photo 15/365
Today, in an entomology lab in University, I tried to take a photo of what I was dissecting (mosquitos and lice) through the microscope lens, but it didn't work - instead, this was what I obtained, and I thought it looked interesting :)
All the lights naturally appeared on the photo as a result of the flash; I didn't create them on Photoshop.

The microscope was a big hit at the health workshop. I still feel somewhat guilty that the people of the community thought they were actually looking at microbes swabbed from their hands, rather than critters taken from the local cow pond.
I really like microscopes. I get really protective of the one I use at school, and I've been known to grumble when I find the first years have left oil on the objective lenses again.
When I get a good microscope, I try to hang on to it at all costs. You never know how good you have it until you look at a scope that only focuses on a single point in the field, or has a light that is never quite bright enough.

One of the various gadgets I got for Christmas this year was this unique camera. Basically, it's a microscope that's powered by the computer's USB port. It features 4 white LEDs near the lens for illuminating the material which you are trying to view.
The camera has the standard Zoom and Focus rings similar to those on a standard microscope and/or D-SLR lens. The button visible on the top is the shutter button, allowing the user to take a snapshot of the object they are viewing.
I will post some images taken with this camera.
I really like how this came out. Same as the others it was done with a wild m20 microscope at 100x with polarized light:)
I bought a $75 microscope yesterday to look at our local algae with.
This is digital scope with a usb cable that works well with my mac. I
did buy a piece of $15 software called miXscope to take pictures,
make movies, make measurements, add subtitles, and draw on the
screen. The scope does not take very good 60x and 200x photos out of
the box due to a low power LED backlight. After fifteen minutes of
getting frustrated I took the toy apart and added a 1 watt white LED
and now I've been getting some great results.
