Anything related to things that are too small to see them with the eye, and the tools used to observe them.
This space is quite general in scope - microscopes, microbiology, small component electronics, questions about buying optical components, etc.

This is it next to a rotifer.
I'm almost done with a microbes /w music video and I just cannot find any leads on this fella. I'm not so versed in microscopy though. I found this guy in a stream. I got a good amount of soil and moss in the sample. There also happens to be an invasive snail population in that stream called a mud snail.
I could try to upload a video somewhere of it if any of y'all think that would help.

I do microscopy for fun, and mainly to make art-like images. My microscope is adapted in many ways, like with Polarization and multiple light units.

I'm having some trouble finding a whole lot of info on this model, finding some stuff but is older so I get it. I've wanted an extra scope for a while now, something used that I can pack around to other people's houses when I take my friends out mushroom hunting and what not. Seller says everything is in working condition, looks like it was refurbished or serviced recently as there's a tag from optics company, not sure. For $150CAD I don't think its a bad deal but wondering what others think. Right now I am working with a swift 380T, I'll miss the phototube but I might actually be able to get a darkfield filter to work on this.
Edit: I haven't purchased this yet, I'm hoping to do that tomorrow. It is a bit out of the way for me, about a 1.5hr drive so I guess that factors into the price
Edit 2: Bought the microscope and its really nice for what it is. The best part is my overpriced little darkfield filter (that didn't work for my swift) works great in this scope. So weird to not have a dark spot in the middle.

I took this photo (and the sample) in the Adriatic Sea (Mljet, Croatia) on June 10th this year. The dinoflagellates I can identify to the genus. They are Tripos - correct me if I am wrong.
But I am not that good with animals. What is this thing on the left-hand side?
