Seconds away from bursting, this rotifer egg is about to produce a new rotifer. Really pleased to have captured and observed this - having only recently gotten into the hobby, this was a first for me. :)

Kat's microscope pic inspired me to upload these! This is a dioflagellate, under a compound epifluorescence microscope. Taken in Grad school at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, in Alabama.
A love story between two cell types. Blue is a general DNA stain, while green is specific to a certain type of cell. Each blue dot is about 5 microns in diameter
Optical micrograph of high carbon alloy transformed to bainite at 275 degrees Celcius. I think it's rather pretty. The sample is polished and etched using nital (nitric acid in ethanol) this micrograph is at a magnification of approximately 200 times. The contrast is achieved using crossed polarisers, the contrast depends distance that light travels, in this way it is possible to get contrast depending upon the cystallographic orientation on the surface, supposedly by differences in the response to the etchant.

Electron Microscopy explores the microscopic world and introduces students to three types of microscopes used in identifying specimens too small to see with the naked eye. An overview and comparison of three different microscopes we have here at FWRI: the light microscope, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.
