Finally dusted off the microscopes after a very long hiatus...

Nikon MM-11 microscope. Mitutoyo 5/0.14 M Plan Apo objective. Olympus U-SWTR-3. Canon T3i camera.

Nikon MM-11 microscope. Mitutoyo 10/0.28 M Plan Apo objective. Olympus U-SWTR-3. Canon T3i camera.

Nikon MM-11 microscope. Olympus LMPLFLN 50/0.50 objective. Olympus U-SWTR-3. Canon T3i camera.

There were many of these plant lice on the catkins

Great to see your outstanding work again in the Forum.
You haven't lost your touch, Charles.
None of my business but why the absense ?

Thanks all very much for the kind remarks! Feels good to finally post a few new images.

Fred (canonian)... but why the absense ?
Nothing to do with microscopy... a couple of things took unexpected, and very difficult turns for me last fall, and I've been trying to deal with them for about 6 months now. Hopefully I'll be able to spend some more time looking through the scopes and visiting here.

If a picture says more than a thousand words, then these are novels to be read. Outstanding as usual!
