Female Stag Beetle
http://www.gpmatthews.nildram.co.uk/insects/stag001.JPG One of my rare macro exploits. I found this beetle dead under some bookshelves in our living room. I used an add-on simple biconvex lens from my scrap box with my Canon Powershot S50 and a microscope lamp for illumination. The beetle was too b...

I use a compass cutter (basically a compass with a blade instead of a pencil or pen). They can be obtained from modelling supplies companies. You may need to fill in the central pinprick. You can print coloured patterns on overhead transparency sheet, but the colour density is generally inadequate a...

Diatoms with newly acquired Zeiss x100 plan apo PH3
I acquired a new objective on e-bay and these are the first images taken whilst trying it out. It took me nearly a week to find the time - things have been a bit hectic of late, hence the lack of postings. I do not have a substage PH3 phase ring for this lens (or any other), so I have prepared a set...

As always, a wonderful photo, Charlie. This is reminiscent of a marine sample I photographed a couple of years ago. I've posted them under a new topic at http://www.photomacrography1.net/forum/ ... php?t=4652

re: Tube dwelling diatoms
Seeing Charlie's wonderful shot of tube dwelling diatoms reminded me of some pictures I took a while ago of a marine sample. The diatoms seemed to be in gelatinous strings. I thought you might find these interesting, although not as pretty as Charlie's. The last picture shows a few separate individu...

Interesting discussion - I am a member of the Quekett Microscopical Club. I have known of it for many a year, but only got around to joining last year. It meets at the Natural History Museum in London, and when I attended my first meeting I was stopped by a security man at the museum entrance. I tol...
