If we ignore the shipping cost, this is an incredible low price transaction.

Does Sweden have no local fans?
I have not tried yet. Local market in Sweden is small, but I also assume most serious Swedish microscopists are also on this site :P

Zeiss DIC/Phase/Fluorescence microscope

Selling a Zeiss Jena Sedival inverted microscope. Very complete with DIC, Phase contrast and fluorescence. Very good condition overall. Many parts in wooden boxes. I included a few DIC micrographs of diatoms so you can see the optics in action. Full resolution images of the diatoms and equipment can...

No doubt about it now. The striated setae/bristles are actually grooved.

I enjoyed your Flickr postings ... again.
Has the fact that they are grooved been a subject of discussion previously?

Re: Fruit fly

Lovely! It's interesting how all the eye facets look collapsed so uniformly. Did this happen during specimen prep, or is a strange feature of the flies? --Rik I think they are collapsed. I prepared three flies and only one had collapsed eyes. Not sure when this happened if it was during preparation...

Re: Suriella sp.

OK :-) Siruella_mirrored_Z-axis.jpg Very interesting! So this shows the diatom flipped over if you compare it the view of my photograph. Yes :-) 3d-model: https://skfb.ly/oRuGp Great, thanks! But in the 3D model, the "ribbons" are visible from both sides. In the SEM image, there seems to be a secon...

Fruit fly

Captured around 20 fruit flies in our kitchen using an apple cider vinegar trap. Fixated in glutaldehyde. Dried in a series of methanol and critical point dried. Sputtered in gold and imaged using a SEM. Colorized in photoshop. Head: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53546167061_41a261f7f0_k.jpg S...

Re: Suriella sp.

Hi Lou, hi Håkan, On my 3D model, it's exactly the opposite :-) https://skfb.ly/oPs6L Best, ADi Interesting. How was your model captured? Using a light microscope or by other means? Inverted or a different species? Hello, with a microscope lens. The 3d-model is based on the depth map of Zerene. If ...

Re: Suriella sp.

Beautiful image. When I first glanced at it, I thought someone had just finished their meal of take-out chicken. Why do the fine slits on the front side allow us to see the things behind them, while those on the back side are almost invisible? I think the slits are only visible from the outside of ...

Re: Suriella sp.

Coloring is the most time consuming part of SEM imaging. :o This is a lovely image, for sure! I'm curious about one aspect of the coloring. Does the person who adds the color learn anything new during the process, or is it strictly a tool for communication with someone else? --Rik Not sure I am lea...

Excellent and a superb job coloring. Thank you! Coloring is the most time consuming part of SEM imaging. :o Similarly, achieving such depth of field is the most time consuming part of optical imaging :D Great image with loads of fascinating detail.
