Vorticella images that show beautiful details.

All with Nikon TE300, 20x/0.75 objective, DIC, flash and Canon T3i mounted on the front port of the TE300.

Hope you enjoy them!

Very nice. These photos remind me of images I've seen from the Olympus BX series DIC. Nikon and Olympus must use similar prisms. I mean this as a compliment because the images I've seen from the BX scopes are excellent.

curt0909,

It looks like Nikon and Olympus use similar prisms. The condenser's mounting dovetail of both is very similar (you can mount Nikon condenser on Olympus microscope and viceversa).

Thank you for your comments.

Olympus has a one prism for all objectives and dedicated condenser modules - it looks to be a bit different system than the one Nikon makes. but the images are great from both of them

superb Vorticella images.

Beautiful images Rogelio. I have seen many of these, but can never pick out the actual mouth. Can you see it in these images?

Mitch,

I will try to get a picture that shows the mouth.

Thank you for your comments.

Great. I am looking forward to it. And, as my new lenses arrive tomorrow, I will also be looking at one, I hope.

Very fine images indeed. That DIC is top notch.

Those are great images; I especially like the second one, I've never seen that much detail in an LM photo of the surface of a Vorticella before. Great shots.
