I have a new toy. It is a microscope and camera attachment! Woo! Under the rationalization that my daughter needs it for a science experiment, I decided to go a little crazy. The kit I got came with a set of 50 pre made slides as well. From cotton to dandelions to fly wings to rabbit testis (omg, yes) it has a variety of things to see intimately. It is truly a treasure hunt! I like my new little microscope and slide set. I wish I could focus the camera a little better but I have issues with focus. 😉 In case you want one, I ordered from AmScope. They had GREAT customer service, prices, and fast shipping! Two thumbs up!
I was so enamored with my Microscope years ago! Great post!
Thank you! They are fun, aren’t they?!
I used to spend hour and hours trying new things!
What was your favorite?
Wow, what a great idea! Have fun with it!!
Thank you! I am sure I will! 😉
It must be wonderful to obtain images like these ones , and definitely interesting….
Looking forward to seeing some more!
Thank you! It is super fun! I will post some more for sure. 😉
Such beautiful abstract patterns, but I’m not so sure about the rabbit testis… 😀
Yeah, not real happy with that, but the sample is so small, I figure they could make a ton from just one bunny. Boo. ;-(
Incredible treasure. Congratulations !
Thank you very much!
Great photos, I’m sure you will have lots of fun.
Thank you! It is really cool!
Oh, YOU’RE THE ONE who took those great microscope photos! I noticed them, and read about your new microscope purchase, and bookmarked a few places to get one for my self. Your post appeared quite around the time that I saw this article about photographs of grains of sand. http://www.greenprophet.com/2014/02/amazing-images-of-sand-close-up-will-stick-in-your-eyes/
Ha ha, yes that is me! It is really a cool thing to have around. THe camera is not as “sharp” as I would like, but I got both the microscope and camera (with application disc) for under $500. I will go look at the sand photos now. FUN!
