Thanks for the feedback, everybody! Did you see the deer redworms live and wiggling? If so, what did their sheaths look like in motion? --Rik Hi Rick, I did watch them in motion, it was only really when seeing the head and tail occasionally retracting a little from the outer sheath that I realised ...

Very interesting Rik. I did post an image a while ago of a L3 stage larvae of a “redworm” species that infects deer. While it has a very different effect on the host than the nematode in your photos, it also has the protective sheath at the L3 stage to allow it to get to the right place in the host....

Thanks for the kind remarks.

It is a long way from your beautiful images of Cyclops Jacek. I tried this in DIC and brightfield but the cross polarised version turned out best.

Thanks for the explanation. I use a BH2 BHS so I do have the 100w halogen but I do use the projection eyepiece. I must admit I haven’t used the high asa settings as I thought there would be too much noise but I’ll give that a try.

Wonderful photos!

How do you get 1/2000 sec with no flash in DIC with a 40X objective? It is very impressive.

Solea solea Scale

This is the skin surface and two images of an individual scale of the fish Solea solea (Dover Sole). The first image is 5X reflected polarised light and the others are 10X in transmitted, cross polarised, light (the last one has the full wave plate inserted). http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/us...

Thanks for the kind comments.

I'm not sure if reflected cross-polarized brightfield light is a common method to use on pollen but the cross polars did cut out the stray reflected light and gave me a better result than reflected darkfield in this instance.
