I suspect I've missed some previous discussion here, but I just wanted to mention, to my eye I'm seeing what I would definitely assume are interference patterns in your second shot, the backlit set.

Best UK source for microscope bulbs
I just found the bulb has gone in my Olympus CH microscope.
With all the experts on here I'm hoping someone knows the best place for replacement bulbs, preferably within the UK..

Stomorhina lunata (Not soldier fly at all!)
I'm really not sure what this one is, from the stripey eyes I'm guessing some kind of soldier fly? To the casual observer this fly was quite boring, like one of the many small nondescript grey flies you find on flowers in the garden, but something subtle about the way it was moving told me it was mo...

The Aphid is alive, and just luck/perseverance.. When shooting live like this I shoot at wider aperture with larger overlap, where I can (ie when using the OM38 with an aperture), and shoot several stacks straight up and down.

Thanks for the kind words chaps, and especially the ID help, I always appreciate those, especially with the mosses! Chris, yep in terms of value for money the little JML 20x is impossible to beat. I don't know if I was lucky and scored a particularly good one, or if I was lucky and it just happens t...
