Microscope Photography: Biology Edition

Phoenix Wren Velitas@phoenixwren (73)2567d

Welcome back to another edition of microscope photography! :D The theme for today is ...biology? Yeah, let's go with "biology." X3

Plants:

I finally got some good plant leaf photos! That makes me happy. This is a purple Wandering Dude leaf (if you're confused, a plant group I'm in discovered that the name "Wandering Jew" for this plant is really anti-semitic in origin - there was a medieval myth about a Jewish man who laughed at Jesus or wouldn't help him or something, so was condemned to walk the Earth until the second coming; then that myth was used as Nazi propaganda - so we decided to call these plants Wandering Dudes instead):

Green Wandering Dude leaf: So you see how shiny the green one is? That was kinda the problem with some of the other leaves I tried. Maybe the purple leaf turned out better because it was darker. There are lights on the microscope that can be turned off, but then you can't see anything, lol WIN_20190817_13_22_37_Pro green wandering dude.jpg

Hair:

Maggie fur (she let me do it this time)! WIN_20190817_13_12_13_Pro Maggie fur.jpg

Kitty whiskers (I collect the shed ones when I find them, so no, I didn't grab my cat's faces and put a microscope to them, lol): WIN_20190817_13_15_55_Pro kitty whiskers.jpg

Wood:

a canvas stretcher bar - one of those sticks you use to stretch canvas for painting on over and staple into place

Leather:

WIN_20190817_13_39_09_Pro worn leather.jpg worn leather from the front of the shoe

So, these are what I am talking about. See that front spot on the shoe where I really need to polish it again? That's the cool looking last photo. Worn shoes for science? LOL WIN_20190817_13_40_41_Pro (2).jpg

Silk:

Because you know I love me some fibers under a microscope.

WIN_20190817_13_32_51_Pro silk.jpg the silk photos are all from a skirt I have that is made from recycled saris

Cotton:

Metal:

Okay, this last one is less "biology," but the photo looks wicked cool: WIN_20190817_13_27_25_Pro brass singing bowl.jpg brass

So there you have it,

Phoenix has fun with his microscope again. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! Have a great day, Steem fam! <3

Wow you should make this a regular post of yours and do a few new pics a week.

I love it.
@jerrytsuseer(73)· 2566d
What kind of camera are you using for this @phoenixwren? I bought a USB Microscope camera that takes some good images such as this But it didn't come with any sort of really steady mount, so that While I'm rolling the focus wheel, it moves around a lot.
