Card 13 - Catching by hairs
I seem to be meeting my self set blogging challenge to post every day (apart from weekends - a "rule" I set up en route). The cigarette cards have certainly provided food for thought, not least a realisation that there are projects I have had in my mind for a long time and have done nothing about. Seeing this picture of grass reminds me that I want to set up a series of pictures of flowers we don't notice - grass flowers, tree flowers, things like plantain. Then there is Spirogyra and other pond life that are so easy to obtain and look at.
Tomorrow I am expecting the arrival of a new microscope, so no excuses ..... At the moment things are quite fraught with student support note taking, but that is only to last another week or so and then I can begin!

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.
