Eggs I collected shortly after hatching. Olympus BH2 (BHTU), 4x UPlanXApo, Darkfield/oblique illumination, Nikon DS-Fi3 camera. The sample is from a pond water jar I have with lots of aquatic snails.

I already built my deck, want to hear what other people would have done.

Imaged on an Olympus BH-2, 4x UPlanXApo, 20x total magnification, 10.1 mp AmScope. Tile scanned and cropped in ImageJ/Fiji. The tile scan feature with the AmScope software works okay has some trouble with small features. I tried stitching at 10x but the software couldn't handle it and I could not get a large stitch.
