Moss Spores and Hornwart Leaf

I am proud of myself today. I looked at a sample last night and got some images and video of some Moss spores. I was even able to find the spore online and more or less identify it. At least I know it's not an Arcella.

Here's a video of the spores.

Still not sure why the images don't come out sharper though.

Not so sharp spores...

Very sharp Hornwart leaf...

Hello Mitch
Nice and interesting video. Good definition
Plan Apo 40X?

Hi Francisco. No Plan Apo 40x. Still using the E 40x that came with the scope. I do have a 40x Plan Achromat on the way though, but it's not here yet.

The Hornwart hair is with a 20x Plan Apo though.

I have not understood yet, why the same camera takes such very good quality video and such mediocre quality stills. When I watch the live view image on my monitor, I can actually see the image quality get better when I start the video.
