Onion cells under a microscope. Just experimenting at the moment, but a world of possibility way beyond macro.
I had a flash of curiosity when our youngest and I were looking at marsh water through a quality microscope I inherited from dad (who got it from his dad). I wondered if I could use my Olympus 770sw camera to capture the image in the eyepiece. The previous shot is what came of my first attempt.
Purchased in a close-out deal for something like $30, it magnified up to 160X, if I remember correctly.
Amazing!
It came with several prepared slides, one of which was something like "squamous epithelium" which I suspect came from the inside of some one's mouth...
This is a composite of two shots. When you're at high magnification, depth of field is very, very limited. With the garnet in the foreground in focus, the one at the left was merely a blur. So I took two shots, one with each crystal in focus, and then used Winimages to composite the two. From my personal collection.
Both original images were taken with Digital Blue's QX5 USB Computer Microscope at 60x magnification, using miXscope, a Mac client that supports the QX5. Note that the QX5, out of the box, is Windows-only.
Fulll line of objectives and eyepieces for microscopy and other applications. 4x through 100x are in stock, as well as 60x long-working-distance objectives. They are all glass achromatic designs and can be used as fiber couplers, spatial filters, and other relay applications.
We also stock 10 ,15 and 20x wide field eyepieces to fit the standard 23mm tube diameter. Some options include diopter adjustment and indicating needles. RMS thread to C-mount rings are also available for added versatility.
