This morning I found a nice subject, a Closterium, and here it is. Not sure what the magnification of the photo is but the picture was taken with a Zeiss Neofluar 25X/0.60 and a Kpl 8X eyepiece. Magnification of the adapter is about 2.5X so it's not the optimum mag for my Canon 40D. If I could find a lower power Kpl eyepiece it would help. Better yet would be the proper Zeiss adapter for my Universal. Also, contrast has been enhanced with oblique illumination.
An informal presentation of my journey from wide-eyed neophyte to owner of an affordable research microscope and all the bumps, bruises, pitfalls and yes, enlightenment, along the way. My perspective is that of a hobbyist and my goal is a layman's familiarity with the alien life of a water droplet.
