You are what you eat, I found this mix in a bird bath at a local garden center. The bath was blood red. 40 and last three 100X S-plan achromat. 2.5x tube lens, DIC flash.

Wonderful images!

Once you encounter a few good rotifers like this you really understand why electronic flash is so essential. What power "level" setting are you able to use with the 100X?

Linden,

Very good images ! The resolution of 100 X is very good. The last image is beautiful and there are many details on it. Thanks to you images I know that the s planachromats are enough good objectives. I must try to take photographs with the flash.

Marek
