Turtle Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Awesome photo Turtle! Thanks. :hihi: Seems the teeny-tiny hook on the seed top is a key identifying feature for this buttercup as there is a similar Straight-beaked Buttercup, Ranunculus orthorhynchus. :hyper: This is a shot of a native Washington species I collected in the wild and have growing in my garden. The web gives a happy coincidence of the scale of this petite flower. :hihi: Fringecup - Tellima grandiflora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelangelica Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Not mine but some amazing stuff hereSECOND PLACE: This image is not an insect's antennae, but rather the flower stem section of a spiny sow thistle (Sonchus asper) magnified 150x. The plant, often considered a weed in North America, was imaged on a dark-field microscope by Gerd Guenther of Düsseldorf, Germany.Petite Pictures: The 20 Microscopic Photo Competition Prizewinners: Scientific American Slideshows Did i see amicrosope (digital?) that links to your computer screen somewhere?

Turtle Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 ...Did i see amicrosope (digital?) that links to your computer screen somewhere? yes; but you have to look closer to see it clearly.

Ganoderma Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 you can hook up your camera to microscopes quite easily. i bought an adapter for my cannon dslr it fits on like a lens, and also screws onto the micrscope eyepiece. i can then hook the camera up via USB to the computer and control it through there with all the settings. works great, but eats batteries!

Michaelangelica Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 ThanksI guess I ask because I have had all sorts of dinky microscopes during my lifetime. I even got a fairly expensive one for my kids.The trouble seems always how to get enough light on the subject. The Konus looks like good value-thanksKonus 450x Konuspix Digital Microscopes come with double illumination with incidental and transmitted light. Special microscope head camera changes into web camera (webcam) and digital camera (digicam). USB cable for computer connection is provided and makes it easy to connect this microscope to any computer. Microscope's digital camera supports 640x480 pixels. KONUSPIX-4 Digital Microscope is supplied with PC software for image processing. Konus 450x Konuspix Digital Microscope Web Camera & PC from OpticsPlanet is a great gift for kids and allows children ages 3 and above enjoy and discover the beauty of the micro world! When i win the lottery i will start again with digital SLR cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganoderma Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 yes,lighting with many scopes and trying to get surface detail is tricky, and generally best done no more than 40x....when you get down to things like 400x and 1000x there is no space for above lighting, and gotta rely on bottom lighting unless you have some other setups going....but the common scopes tend to be like this. you dont need slr cameras....i used to take many microscope shots just by setting up the camera on a tripod and lining it up with the scope (now that was REALLY time consuming!!!) but on a budget is just as well. some new pics, plants & critters this time ants farming mealies on an Agave cactus rot progression (fungal) lotus seed pod Some mutated flowers of A. nervosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevaeh.aaric Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 The trickiest part at such very close proximity to the lens, is getting light on the subject. The other problem is depth of field I've noticed, and there is no option to adjust the f-stop on the cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
