Une nouvelle #diatomée est en ligne sur le site DORIS :
La diatomée trisecteur.

Managed to capture this goober at 400x magnification with my #microscope. The water sample is from my fish fry #aquarium. Do any #microbiology #microscopy friends know what this tiny animal is?

Mic-TAUR-scopic!
For Dr. Velo's next experiment, there was no better test subject than Skylar! x3

Les #diatomées, c'est parfois un peu frustrant à observer parce qu'il faut un #microscope 🔬 mais c'est passionnant !

Photomicroscopy is amazing! Steve Mould video on the Hirox microscope with rotary head attachment.
#DNA #microscope creates 3D images of organisms from the inside out.
Third time's a charm: We just kicked off our third campaign with a Microscope session. Always fun! https://troypress.com/using-microscope-for-world-building-for-a-campaign/ #ttrpg #Microscope
Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦠🦐
The study of #phytoplankton is difficult because of their small size. For this we thank Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1722), the "father of microbiology". This Dutch draper was self-taught in creating high-quality #microscope lenses to examine thread. He then viewed tooth scrapings and water, coined the term "animalcules" for #protozoa, and first described Spirogyra (👍 genus name from JHF Link) as “spirally wound serpent-wise earthy particles”. A #science was born.
As Fediverse knows odd things...
Where (UK) can I buy a microscope?
I don't want to spend a lot, nor do I need anything fancy. Just a step up in quality from the cheap plastic Early Learning Centre one I have.
Second hand would be perfect. EBay has many, but I've no way of knowing if they're any good.
In my head, I'm picturing the solid, heavy things I used to use at school. One that old would, I'm sure, be fine.
Any suggestions?
