Thanks Carlos.

Here is another composition of what's in the birdbath at the moment.

40X Objective DIC, stacked, composition. Relative size is correct.

Really beautiful images.

I took a sample of water from the bird bath and along with the usual hoards of Haematococcus pluvialis there were a lot of small Amoeba. Haematococcus pluvialis is around 55 microns across and the Amoeba were around 75 microns long. I don't know if they would eat a whole H. pulvaris but they look li...

Beautiful photos.

Good work. I think the moss images are very nice.

Thanks for the comments.

Very interesting, I particularly like the flourescence image.

Here are some grains of red sand from the Namibian desert. It's mostly quartz that has a fine coating of "Hematite", a red oxide of iron. You can see thicker areas of the iron oxide in the crevices on the grains. I used incident light and low intensity transmitted cross polarised light. It's a stack...

outstanding images!

Very creative and a great result.

What a great result! Super image.

Stunning images, beautifully lit.

Thanks for the comments. Hi Chris, The spores are roughly around 8 or 9 microns for the Inocybe spore (they are not all depicted at the same scale) to around 18 microns for the largest of the Panaeolus spores ( Panaeolus semiovatus ). The Entoloma darkfield was a 40X objective rather than the 100X. ...

Wonderful!

Fascinating. The last photo shows the structure so well, I can see why they are very strong and light.
