The tulips featured in the last post are now wilting so I've dug in to get some more detailed microscopic images. Cutting sections is still a challenge but I'm getting better. Perhaps the secret is the double sided razors rather than the thicker single bladed ones I'm using. I've stitched together the best cross sectional piece I was able to get. I gather the 6 egg shaped forms are ovaries.
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.
