Aubrey Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I thought I would post a pic of an Oryzias Latipes egg viewed on my new microscope for comparison with the first video in this thread. I'm excited by the image quality I am able to get now, but even more impressed with what I was able to get with a novelty clip on microscope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the trinocular head was needed, but I do have a dslr that I might figure out how to attach. The mechanical stage is nice, but I think you can purchase attachments to upgrade non mechanical ones. I'm a complete noob with all of this, so keep that in mind. If it weren't for the stimulus check I probably would not have purchased this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Want to follow a Stentor for five minutes? Usually I see them attached to moss or clumps of detritus, but this one was out for a stroll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Some more wormy bois. I think the slender ones are nematodes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 This is something that you typically can see, but not much more than it is a tiny white speck. Let's get up close with a limpet. I'm not 100% sure how to calculate the magnification, but this is at 64x and 3x zoom on the camera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I recieved a plant from the Co-Op today after it spent about two weeks in the mail. I decided to take a qiuck look at what was in the water squeezed from the rock wool. 64x and 160x with 3x zoom on the camera 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 I hatched brine shrimp for the first time about two weeks ago. I tried straining them straight from the hatchery with a reusable coffee filter over a jar and then rinsed them over another jar to dump them into freshwater for feeding. I've since changed my method, but I left the saltwater with a few of the hatchlings that somehow made it through the filter. I remembered it earlier when cleaning around the kitchen and noticed that the babies are not babies anymore. So I decided to take a look up close. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a video soon. I'll probably be blowing one of these threads over the weekend. Congrats on the (sort of) new toy! These photos are amazing @Hobbitand @Aubrey. Thanks for sharing them! 🤩 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkG Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The round head grabby fellow from first post is probably an oligochaet worm, in another shot the setae - bristles - show clearly. This, or a very similar species, is one of the two oligochaets I have found in my tank 🙂 they are in the sand as well as on plants, also seen on the glass.
