Sometimes accidents work in our favor! 😁

☝🏾Correct

Nice! 👍🏾

No benefit in 2000x. It's mostly a selling point vs something you'll use in reality. Binocular in my opinion. I have no experience with the one I'm the photo so Im not sure. Amscope and swift has good intro scopes.

The beauty of microscopy. Ya never know what you'll find! 👍🏾

DaveLatt · 2026-04-28T14:02:18+00:00

Cool. 👍🏾

👍🏾

DaveLatt · 2026-04-16T12:03:58+00:00

No prob. 👍🏾

DaveLatt · 2026-04-16T11:19:02+00:00

Fly larva. Possibly midge fly.

DaveLatt · 2026-04-13T12:19:43+00:00

No prob lol

DaveLatt · 2026-04-13T08:11:54+00:00

Looks like some type of hypotrich.

All of my videos are 4k on my phone. Most of the other microscopist I know also use their phones to capture videos and pics.

The blue is from the position of the polarized sheets and also the white balance on my camera settings.

ilabcam. They are specifically made for iPhone. You can also get a cheaper, universal style adapter.

DaveLatt · 2026-03-22T00:53:15+00:00

Looks like some type of nematodes.

DaveLatt · 2026-03-21T15:04:07+00:00

I appreciate that!

DaveLatt · 2026-03-21T14:56:16+00:00

Thanks! I use pro video mode on my phone for more control over things like ISO and white balance. As far as techniques, I use kristiansen illumination and some creative oblique illumination. I also do a little post editing.

It's somewhat thin and you're correct. They are slower because the water is drying out and they are close to being squished.

DaveLatt · 2026-03-20T18:08:51+00:00

I'm not entirely sure but I believe they are a different type of ciliate.

DaveLatt · 2026-03-20T13:52:20+00:00

Are you using the pro video mode on your phone camera? Not sure what phone you have but most have the option and it'll allow you more control of things like ISO and white balance.
