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.

Students from Y9 worked on a 'Inside Me' project. They explored imagary from scientific slides through a microscope. Students were then asked to record these using a digital camera. Outcomes were used to generate work further into abstracted images, paintings and drawings.
The Titan scanning/transmission electron microscope, also known as the Titan Cubed, is being installed in the Materials Research Institute at the Millenium Science Complex on Penn State's University Park campus. This leading-edge instrument will greatly enhance the capabilities of researchers in the world of science at the nanoscale. Go to www.mri.psu.edu/news/2012/fei_titan/ for more information.
Provisionally I am calling this as Chrysis impressa.
These are some test shots with the new Hi-Chrome Camera and GMZ microscope. I think the new kit will prove immensely useful for identifying these extremely challenging wasps. The series of shots here cover some of the key characters one has to look at. Normally one needs to match five or more out of seven characters to approach confidence in one's determination.
Being able to compare images will make this challenging task a little easier (hopefully).
The exhibit on the history of the microscope was full of gorgeous, intricate instruments that were as much ornament as tool.

An interesting look at everyday things.
I bought a cheap USB powered Microscope and then started exploring. Some of the images were very unexpected so I thought I would post a few.
