I captured the natural fluorescence of mouse skin cells using a laser-scanning microscope with a resolution of roughly 0.6 microns. I reconstructed the true-color pixel-by-pixel fluorescence using a program I wrote in IDL. Hope you enjoy the beauty of non-destructive, non-invasive, all-natural imaging of living cells. (Actual size: 100 microns x 100 microns, two-photon excitation wavelength = 764 nm.)

Taken with my cellphone's camera in the laboratory today, through the eyepiece of the microscope. (Sony Ericsson S500i.)

Showing tubulin, actin and nucleus in green, red and blue respectively.

Slowly continuing my indoctrination into microscopy, or photomicrography, and continuing to look for the sweat glands. With my previous attempt, I was simply happy to get a viewable image and gave up on the glands. The photo however suffered from quite a few defects.

Thanks to online communities and people like [https://www.flickr.com/photos/27062200@N00/], I have learned a tiny bit more. It's going to be a long road but the challenges are what makes it so rewarding in the end.

Yet more views of the things you can't see! Our local photo suppliers and chemists - Dents - had an offer on a Zenith BM100FL microscope. Now I well remember trying to take photos using my sister's microscope way back in the late 1960's and enjoying it although the results were a bit variable. It's now a bit easier to do so having researched the subject I bought the microscope, an adapter to attach a camera and some specimens. Here are the first results and I'll post more on occasions. Now please understand I'm no biologist! I'm just taking pretty pictures but it is fascinating and I'll try to explain specimens when I know something. Each picture will tell you the magnification I used. The colours are not the natural colours of the specimens but dyes used to show the item by transmitted light.

It was obvious to check out what happens if one combines the 200mm tube lens with a 2x externder (Canon Extender 2x III).

The resulting tube length is now 400mm and the maginfication goes up to something like 50 times. The center resultion ist still extraordinarily high. The edges are weaker, but not too bad!
