Some microscopy



I set up the stereoscopic microscope to try out the latest camera (Pentax Optio) to put it through its paces. The results were disappointing, too blurred. So it is back to the trusty Nikon.

  1. I see what you mean about the different cameras, Anne. But WOW, what a thing to see through the microscope...and to take pictures of it!

    Out of curiosity, did you make your own collage template or are you using a collage site? Now that Picnik is "ending," many of us are scrambling to find a new option!

    1. Thank you Ginnie for your comments.

      The collage was created with Picasa which I downloaded with the main intent of getting my pictures tagged and sorted - an UPHILL challenge it has to be said :) However, I do find the collage option of great use.
