Still-life shots from the best museum in the world - in the Angela Marmont Research Centre.

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.

Woodinville Whiskey Rye. Approx. 40X I accidentally put a lot on this slide, and it wound up being a happy accident.

Some recent shots taken with a microscope attachment for my phone.

My foray into microscope glass slide pendants. My soldering is very rough but I found this addictively fun and made three or four DOZEN pieces, most of which I gave as gifts that year.

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.

Thru the microscope

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.

Just a quick test with one of my mineral specimens.
