A Few More Slices - Celery

The first two are unstained and they are hand slices made with a double edge razor blade of one of the stems on a tiny leaf. It seemed to have some coiled parts that were quite interesting, and not found in the stalk part. The second two are of the celery stalk itself, hand sliced and stained. You can see the thickness of the slice in these.

Pretty awesome

How flippen cool. I will have to search your postings to see if you show your set up. I have been considering buying a borescope to photograph spiders in their holes (and other critters but mainly female tarantulas).

Thanks TwistedGray and Racquel.

There is a link to my microscope and it's parts in my footer. You'll probably have to search the forum for the full camera and adapter to scope setup though. Also, when you have time, check my YouTube link too. I use a Canon T1i for stills and video, and some of them are pretty interesting.

I believe I have seen boroscopes with a USB camera plugin for a computer or laptop. You will want to check E-bay for that kind of thing, before buying new though. E-bay has some really good deals in among the weeds.

Holey Cow, I just checked and they are cheap, with a metal case.

Impressive stuff Mitch.

Thanks for posting.


bas.

Thanks Bas. I've got some dead grass culture going in a jar with water. Give it a few days and there ought to be some really interesting bugs to look at.

neat series, Mitch

Thanks for looking Dean.

The blue ones remind me of the Rafflesia flower ....except it should be more reddish

Thanks Kurt. I just Googled that flower and that's not something you can just order from the florist.

pretty pictures, reminds me of high school science classes!

Thanks for looking Hot Shek. I was denied that pleasure. Got into Biology, but then there were too many people and I got bumped. I have owned a few microscopes over the years, but nothing really nice until recently. Amazing whats available now at a decent price.

Wow, Mitch, cool stuff!

I dropped in here today to post some little fly shots, but now I just want to hide!

Thanks for looking Tony. I can't chase the birds and flies anymore and roll on the ground, so I went over to the indoor desk type stuff.

Heh! Well, your work has a way of making me feel inadequate, Mitch! Your microscopy stuff -- Wow!
