Got a new microscope from E-bay today, with a digital camera, no less!
Here are some of the first efforts with the camera. Enjoy!!
This is a fly in amber from our amber collection. Please note the compound eyes staring back at you from 45 million years ago. Spooky, if you think about it!
Here's a moth. It's a bit deeper inside the piece of amber, so the image is a bit more washed out.
This is a bark louse.
The magnification is about 40 times. This guy is so small it's hard to see in the amber without magnification.
And here's a video of a Copepod from the bottom of our aquarium.
A fairly common critter, but cool to watch.
