This could well be the reason for my science education. Dad and I used to examine puddle contents and human hair for entertainment on Sunday afternoons.

Now it sits on my shelf as "Art."

High Quality Professional Compound Binocular Microscope!

Phase contrast microscopy is a technically fairly easy trick to increase the contrast of the image. It was invented by a Dutch guy, Frits Zernike, who earned a Nobel prize for it. Funny, because another Dutch guy, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, invented the microscope! I remain to this day clueless on how to reproduce the rings in bricks... So no rings, but it does slide!

I still vaguely remember getting my little science kit, including this microscope, many many years ago, when we were living at Bellevue. I remember that the scalpel(s) and sample slicer thing were curiously absent by the time it got into my hands - I never actually got them back, even when I was old enough not to put my own eyes out. Pity. This microscope provided substantial entertainment value to me. As did other parts of the science kit - I remember wondering what would happen if I mixed milk, apple juice, and pretty much everything else I could find in one test tube. From memory, the test tube was ultimately thrown out. :)

So, I thought - brilliant! I can take my son's microscope and all sorts of fun with the lights and looking through the lens and taking different angles ..... and then I discovered it works on UK voltage.... ho hum.

Identification sous réserve.

Ce micro-organisme présente un comportement vorace vis à vis de ses proies, animales ou végétales (ici une diatomée). Il a usage de se réunir à deux ou plusieurs individus, dans le but de partager ces proies, ce qu'on appelle une association de "consommation".

This is a test photo that we took by holding a friend's Canon A530 digital compact camera next to the eyepiece of my stereo microscope. The colour rendition is a bit strange due to the microscope's white LED illumination.

The chip is one of many on an ARM processor module for the Acorn RiscPC, made in 1996. It's a quad two-input AND gate.

Brine shrimp look funny when they swim. You can barely see them without the microscope.

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.

2015

Today I've not even had my camera out of my bag, but I was impressed with the 3D images from our microscope that I was getting of a student's project of some structural cardboard that has been load tested.

I thought it would make for an unusual 365 photograph if nothing else.
