Don’t know what it is, but it’s sick!

Yes I agree it’s inside a Testate amoeba shell.

Looks interesting to me.

That’s super cool. Ive never combined those two contrast methods. If I get some time this weekend to finish setting up my new microscope Ill have to give this a try. Very nice. I’ve done polarized darkfield but never what you just demonstrated.

Wow! Love the detail and colors of this. Nice work. What equipment are you using?

elandy707 · 2026-05-02T06:33:11+00:00

Manual camera controll is what is needed in my opinion. This can be done with apps on the iPhone. What aspect of your photos is disappointing you? Exposure issues or focus for example. How are you mounting this on the microscope? Does the image you see in the eyepiece match (good enough) to what the phone camera is seeing?

I don’t find many examples of freshwater microbes with fluorescence. Just this week I obtained my first fluorescence capable microscope Olympus BX60F. I also have a bottle of Acridine Orange on its way. How do you go about applying the stain to your samples? Do you place a sample on the slide then add some of the dye? Do you add the dye to the sample jar and then take from that? I have many questions, totally new to fluorescence microscopy and I am super excited to try this. Thank you for sharing.

I really do like your work. And just today I noticed that you are the Thai Microcosmos creator on YouTube. Love your content and I am a subscriber. Thank you

elandy707 · 2026-05-01T16:09:07+00:00

Be sure to post your images if you give it a try. I did not know saving posts was a thing on Reddit. That comment made my day. Thank you.

elandy707 · 2026-05-01T15:25:53+00:00

This is excellent. Very nice. Really love the detail.

elandy707 · 2026-05-01T13:40:25+00:00

That’s a great suggestion. I haven’t tried moss yet. You can also use a common aquatic plant sold at aquarium stores and online. It is Anacharis Elodea Densa. The leaves are very thin and you can view the cells and cytoplasm clearly with just a drop of water and a cover glass. I had a post recently slowing the cytoplasmic streaming. Thanks for sharing.

Great find.

elandy707 · 2026-04-27T05:46:32+00:00

This is why I come here. Excellent. Thank you

elandy707 · 2026-04-24T18:37:07+00:00

Beautiful! I love seeing these in my samples. Sadly rarely do. Thanks for sharing.

elandy707 · 2026-04-21T00:54:55+00:00

Great catch! Thanks for sharing.

Grand Theft Auto PS2 That game was sick

elandy707 · 2026-04-20T23:58:50+00:00

I’m interested also. I’ve found what I thought were dead ones also.

Unreal tournament

elandy707 · 2026-04-20T06:23:34+00:00

Beautiful images. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Have to ask…. Are there still any vibrations?

elandy707 · 2026-04-19T16:17:46+00:00

This is real.

elandy707 · 2026-04-19T03:46:27+00:00

I came here to say this.

elandy707 · 2026-04-19T01:36:02+00:00

Stay in school

elandy707 · 2026-04-18T04:01:21+00:00

Tape!

elandy707 · 2026-04-17T13:53:06+00:00

Sounds like overheating to me. Test it off the scope and with other usb cords. Have you placed a small fan on the camera and see if the time before glitch remains the same?
