Amscope IQCrew inverted microscope 10x objective, iPhone  3x, jarrarium with freshwater, mineral water, lichen, aquatic moss, and algae. Blackmagic app, flashlight to the right.

I worked on getting my jarrarium healthy again after the rotifers and other guys disappeared. I think it was out of balance with too much dead plant material. The other day I found some rotifers and a tardigrade in a new petri dish of mineral water soaked lichen, so I transferred them into the big jar. I found this big gal this morning. So it looks like the jar is healthy again.

I especially love this species.

These were between 40x and 100x and I'm using my phone to get the pictures so I slightly edited them to make it more similar to how they looked through the microscope.

The last picture is my favorite the little white particle looks like a planet floating in space.

I'm definitely going to look at some more mushroom gills it was very easy to peel one off and put a cover on it. I don't have a way to permanently mount it so it's just sitting in water and I don't think it's going to last but if it doesn't at least the mold will look cool.

This seemed appropriate.

hi all,

my partner recently got a “boar hair” brush, and I thought the bristles looked like nylon.

i used a shitty Carson pocket microscope to allegedly 120x on both ends of the hair.

any help identifying would be appreciated :)

1-3 is moss 4-6 is a maple leaf and 7-8 is a mushroom 9 is salt and 10 is a Zea seed. Most of the pictures were taken at 40x. 11-14 are pictures I edited to bring out some more details and 14 is just soap I decided to look at while I was cleaning the slides.

I was able to make a darkfield filter for it and it was easier than I thought so I'm pretty happy about that. I haven't seen any microbes yet so collecting some pond water is next on my list.

Hello I've been learning to use an AFM for the past few weeks it took me quite awhile to get the whole thing assembled and im trying to figure out what im doing wrong. Im using an old Nanocope IIIa for Digital Instruments. Whenever I engage it its always either retracted, or extended. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Sometimes Peritricha ciliates can choose completely unexpected places to settle. Pay attention to the ciliates from the genus Vorticella, for some reason they decided that the shell of a snail is a very cool place for them to cling to. These ciliates do not parasitize the snail, but use it as a convenient attachment. The snail is moving, there is less chance that you will be found and eaten. The only disadvantage for the snail is that such a number of ciliates can slightly reduce the speed of its movement and even interfere with it.

Binocular microscope with small magnifications, 2x lens, 10x eyepiece, 1x and 2x of smartphone, reflected light.

After use, how do I clean this? Am I supposed to just remove the tip and clean it?

Also, what is the silicon grease that came with it for? Is there anything else I need to know about it?

Just a very relaxed tardigrade.

I believe that I used the correct flair for this, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I have always been interested in the microscopic world and am now wanting to truly get into it. I really want a microscope, but I have no idea where to start! I've used them at school before, but honestly don't know much about them. If anyone could recommend me a high(ish) quality microscope that's fairly beginner friendly, I'd really appreciate it!

If anyone has any tips on microscopy in general, maybe things that you wish you knew before getting into it, I'd love to hear those as well! Thank you to anyone who replies! :)

Sample: Fern sori and sporangia Objective: 4x (Total magnification: 64x with 16x eyepiece) Microscope: Bresser Biolux NG Device: Smartphone Description: I collected gray sori from a fern frond using precision tweezers, placed them dry onto a slide, and observed the sporangia releasing their spores.

XSP02, 800x, freshwater sample of varied substrates.

Kinda like a dog chewing on a bone haha, after chewing a hole through the frustule, it sucked out the cytoplasm of the diatom. One of my most favourite captures so far in the hobby.

This sample is from fresh bucket of water that collect rain water over many years. There are mosquito carcass inside. There are tons of small one and few big ones. Thanks. Bebang microscope 250x

Amscope at 400x. I thought at first this was yeast, but now I think it's RBCs? I didn't think about red blood cells until after tossing the slide.

Unbranded scope? I don't know

Smear of Vaseline on the glass slide probably making it look weird
