Pretty common, but still cute lil rotifer I was just looking at in my small plastic tub of live freshwater pond stuff. Very clear view of its mouth parts and insides!

Anybody else?
I want that KILL DEATH shirt.
Sounds like an insult and gives me a chuckle. I'm a simple man.
I bit into a piece of hoagie bread a couple weeks ago and immediately tasted mold and saw a molden opportunity! Cultivated a piece in a couple well sealed ziplock bags and just made three permanent slides with a PVA glue solution. This is the most interesting one.
Microscope: SW380T w/ Sony a6700 with 10x, 20x, 40x and 60x objectives w/ some digital zoom.
Sample: moldy bread in a PVA glue solution.

I know this is a pretty serious sub....might be kind of fun to do a meme mondays or something.
I did my first spore print the other day from an unidentified russula I found in the woods after some rain.
Made three different "permanent" slides using a clear Elmer's glue and water solution, this one kind of looked the best.

Sample: spore print collected from a russula cap found on Massachusetts forest floor in clear PVA glue medium.
How neat is this? I'd love any tips or tricks for collecting and observing similar type of sample if anybody has any.
I was doing my first spore print from an unidentified gilled mushroom to take a look under the microscope and just practice this whole thing.
First 24 hours was fine. Separated the glass slide print and the cap to another portion of the black paper to try to get a "clean" print, just checked back in and not surprisingly it has all gone very squishy and full of life.
Noted, lesson learned and area cleaned and disinfected. Have yet to look at the glass slide and samples under the microscope just yet. Fun!
Hi. I bought a not cheap ~$160 2x adapter off of eBay and it just looked bad and the image was significantly less bright as to be significantly worse than what I'm doing now, so I returned it. I am seeing some 1.6x adapters for APS-C online for several hundreds of dollars, is this just something that's just inherently very expensive or niche to produce or are there cheaper, viable options?
Am I just better off zooming in from a 4k vignetted image to one that fills the whole screen but comes out to be ~1080p and is the added magnification I'm getting from that roughly equivalent to 2x? And if so, why does the image on screen appear more zoomed in than through the 10x eyepiece lenses? Is it just because the screen is just that much bigger?
Are my zoomed and cropped images from a 40x objective closer to 80x magnification? I'd like to start labeling magnifications in my videos, but am kind of genuinely lost here.
Sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm still very new at all this.
I've been to the Old North Bridge a few times, but never actually went in The Old Manse. Took a wonderful tour through the house and decided to drive down to the Sleepy Hollow cemetery and find some of these peoples' final resting places.
Beautiful day for this. Highly recommend.

Got a couple lil guys that got loose because I put too much water under the slide cover. Good thing I don't work at a lab I guess, holy crap. Hope I'm not posting too much, not trying to spam or anything.

Bought a bunch of plastic 32mm filters and was playing around with them a bit. Pretty fun, not sure how useful these are yet.
Microscope is SW380T with a Sony a6700 with 4x, 10x, 20x and maybe a 40x objective with digital crop and zoom.
Sample is some water and plant material from a jar of freshwater pond stuff I have here.
Look at all those chickens!
I've been trying to figure this out for a bit and can't really do it. Just made this account earlier today, hopefully it doesn't get filtered out.

Please help. Is it a rotifer? What is this? TIA.
