Re: Moss chloroplasts and equisetum spores

Thanks Mike. I took your "Large" pic from Flickr.
We have to be careful of course - can't have them knowing more than the curriculum or they'll get confused, or the examiner won't know what they're referring to so mark things "wrong". :-|

Re: Moss chloroplasts and equisetum spores

I might pinch your first photo to illustrate chloroplasts in a biology powerpoint for school... ;, if you don't mind :). The equisetum spores would need a long off-curriculum lesson though; kids today leave school here at 18 with top grade biology without having heard of "alternation of generations"...

Re: Lichen 5x

Attractive things :) . Try a stereo if you can. It's easy with Zerene stacker. Lichens really do jump off the page, even at quite low magnification.

Re: Mitutoyo M Plan APO HR 5X 0.21 Test Results

Interesting discussion. I'm not a theory guy, but in my experience my Mitty 7.5/0.21 and Nikon S Fluor 4/0.20 outresolves/outperforms any 0.13, 0.14, 0.15 objective at any magnification on any camera I used them with: MFT (20MP), APS (26MP), FF (47MP), among others.

Re: Olympus NeoSplan 80 / 0.75 Ulwd

Too much? Looking at ebay it's not bad - I wouldn't want to sell one for less!
