Quite interesting creatures, Ken! They look like chitons (marine mollusks). Great picture, and good counterpart to your macro photo.

What a great composition! Is this a full field of view or a crop?

Frez, I think it depends how your eyes are "trained". I'm a "parallel-eyed person", too! :-)

Great images! Impressive 3D effect.

Amazing pictures! Nice internal skeleton of the echinoderm larva, I see the spicules are birefringent under DIC.

Great images! You mastered fluorescence microscopy! How do you like AO 120 compared to the older scope?

I'm sorry, Frez, for my late answer. The Ward Science sample is very nice and I have it, too. This particular slide comes from a small set of Pacific Ocean radiolaria slides that I borrowed from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. I contacted them some time ago and they were very friendly. The or...

I think your ID is correct. How big it was? It is one of the best heliozoan images I have ever seen (well, except for a couple of your other pictures...) Stunning!

Congratulations on the objective, Graham!

Great pictures, resolution is very decent, indeed. And your home-made phase ring seems to work flawlessly.

Great images, Wim! Besides the undulating membrane, details of the stalk with myoneme inside are excellent!

Interesting comments on the camera! Despite the color cast (which is hardly noticable in your image) the picture seems pretty sharp! It would be interesting to see a 100% crop.

Great image, Rene. It gives a good impression of 3D. Somehow it works better for me if I switch the image horizontally (I guess it is cross-eye/parallel stereo problem). Happy Holiday!

Thank you, Ken! I re-organized the little pictures. Should be ok now. Bill, I haven't used any filtration method for the 10g tank, except for biological filtration (the live rock) and water changes (10-15% a week). It's not perfect. I monitored level of nitrates and it always was higher than 0. To g...
