another collembolan and you can see a feature that certains collembolans have (not just for Butterflies or Tricophterans:P)... scales!!! :) It offers indeed a protection against dissecation. I think this collembolan is a Tomoceridae collembolan. Not sure if the iridiscence visible here is an artefact or it is real. ;)
EDIT This is indeed a Heteromurus major. Not Tomoceridae as I thought. See Frans Janssens explanation - one great expertise in collembolans in the world. ;) He has a great website - www.collembola.org (I'm reading all stuff as I can)
Lots of exciting stuff going on in the scale shop. Lots of new videos coming up soon and lots already posted @

Palais Niederösterreich Austria
Palais of Lower Austria, formerly known as the Lower Austrian Landhaus (former Gouvernment building of the Austrian State Niederösterreich)
The Palais Lower Austria is a building in Vienna. It is located in the city center, Herrengasse 13
Meaning
It got its name by renaming the Lower Austrian Landhaus in September 2005.
Before St. Pölten became the capital of Lower Austria was here the parliament of this country, and before that it was the seat of its estates. Here the Erbhuldigungen (the act of the Hereditary Homage) of the Austrian archdukes took place and it is also a place for important events in Austrian history.
The by the province of Lower Austria owned palace Niederösterreich is now used as a kind of "Embassy" of the country in the federal capital.
History
Renaissance portal, 1571
Architectural History
The Lower Austrian Landhaus before the rebuilding at the end of the 1830s
The formerly Liechtensteinsche house was purchased in 1513 of the Estates to be as political representative in the vicinity of the Prince. The building in many sections was transformed and expanded by later additions and enlargements. The Estates bought the stones themselves, inter alia, Burgschleinitzer stone, now called Zogelsdorfer stone, and for the stairs to the council office stairway scale of hard stain from Leythaberg, thus, hard Kaiserstein from Kaisersteinbruch, so wrote Hans Saphoy in an invoice. These steps present themselves today as built in "yesterday". He arched-in around 1570 the a great courtroom. From the Renaissance period the Landhaus chapel, the Gothic room and a portal are preserved. This portico of 1571 consists of a Ädikulaaufsatz (aediculae attachment) in relief, on it two knights with Archduke hats and five eagle coat of arms or barred shield of the coat of arms union of Old and Neuösterreich (New Austria). From an antique-style head sculpture in the pediment and lateral female figures with cornucopias. In red Adnet marble the year 1571 was etched.
The boardroom was later configured baroque, among other things, in 1710 with a fresco by Antonio Beduzzi, which is the largest contiguous ceiling painting in Austria. It shows "Austria", which before the Divine Providence pending is glorified. The painting is decorated with Flussallegorien (river allegories) (Sebethos, Danube, Po, Rhine, Save, Tajo, Elbe, Rio de la Plata) representing, illusionist stucco frame surrounded vault frescoes. This new stucco marble decor and wall panels created in 1710 Balthasar Haggenmüller. Equally baroque is also the judicial throne in the Knight's hall, which Claude Le Fort du Plessy is attributed. Knight's Hall, Lords Hall and Prelate's Hall were designed by the cathedral architect Leopold Ernst 1845/46.
Due to the many conversions and connecting buildings with added neighboring houses, the building made in the early 19th Century a very inconsistent impression. The last reconstruction therefore was aimed to give the building under preservation the older buildings a unified facade, which was 1837-1839 carried out by Alois Ludwig Pichl, a student of Nobile. This facade with its characteristic colossal columns is considered an important example of the classicism in Vienna.
Use until 20 Century
Diet stairs
In the 16th Century the Landhaus was a cultural and religious center of the at that time majoritarian Protestant Lower Austrian nobility and the Lutheran-minded Viennese citizens. This feature disappeared with the Counter-Reformation. On 13 March 1848 the Landhaus became the starting point of the revolution as citizens and students forced the Lower Austrian estates to support a petition to the Emperor, in which a constitution as well as freedom of press and freedom of assembly were demanded (see Lajos Kossuth and Adolf Fischhof).
In 1861 overtook the now at the place of the Estates steping in Lower Austrian Landtag the building. The Herrenhaus, the House of Lords of the Austrian Imperial Council, met provisionally from 1861-1883 in the building.
Political significance
Coat of arms
After the end of World War I took place on 21 October 1918 here the constitution of the Provisional National Assembly of the independent Austrian state.
By 1921 it was used for both the Lower Austrian together with the Vienna deputies. Since the secession of Lower Austria from Vienna in 1922 it was to 1997 the seat of the Lower Austrian Landtag, until the Diet by the relocation of the State government moved to the new capital St. Pölten.
In the autumn of 1945 a conference of State representatives took place here, where it was decided that the western provinces, too, the (originally only in the Soviet occupation zone effective) Renner government recognize what is regarded as constitutive of the Second Republic.
In 1995 the mayor of Vienna and Governor (of the state of Vienna) Michael Häupl and the Lower Austrian provincial Governor Erwin Pröll signed an agreement, in which Vienna by law of separation entitled for a half ownership of the Lower Austrian Landhaus transferred it to the province of Lower Austria.
As money equalization for this transfer of ownership Vienna got from the province of Lower Austria, among others, whose ownership interests in the Nursing home Klosterneuburg, at the
Danube Island North and at the Building of the District Administration Wien-Umgebung in the Alserbachstraße 41 transferred.

A new set of Body Composition scales, and my statistics ain't the best...
And my metabolic age? Oh dear!
Here I was looking at some old houses in Healdsburg, Ca. and up on a porch sits this vintage Toledo scale. I use to see them in the butcher shops when I was a kid.
The radii are regular Geomag rods, but the edges are made from B126 supermag bars with 3/32" magnetic shims.

I put this up as a full resolution cropped image. This is with the new Canon 300mm f2.8 ll + 1.4 ll hand held.
In mode 3. Just as sharp as the 500mm f4L in my opinion. Just an amazing lens. For BIF and hand held shots it is the best and sharpest I have ever seen. After a while with this lens I think the IS is so much better that it make the lens seem sharper, But there is something about the images it produces that I really like.
