I spent a little time today making a transfer tool because I feel inept with a scalpel. Just tested it out on a few plates and I like it. Not too expensive to make. Just took an hour or so.
In the pandemic I got into coins (thanks bipolar) and i forgot i had this little camera setup so I decided to look at some plates leftover from transfers. I’m curious if there is anything in particular I can learn or take note of at this level of magnification? Or do you need a proper microscope to really dig into certain things on that level? Either way its cool to get an up close view of the myc. If there is any benefit to a setup like this please share any guides or tutorials you may have. Thanks!
Hello. I puts some spores to agar and got some quick germination. When is the appropriate time to make a transfer?
I’ll share for those who might also be interested in Abhidharma studies. The Buddha Dharma Center of Hong Kong has released a new English Edition of the Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma. I was on a wait list for a while and just got my copy today. Reasonably priced and shipped quickly. Excited to dive into it soon.
This is my altar. I have spent the better part or the last year putting it together. It’s my favorite place to be.
