Thanks for following my ArtQuest profile @contemporaryartist I'm a painter myself, not a collector, though I wish I had the walls and the money to hang art on them! If I did, I could see some of your work on them! I'm a sucker for clouds to.
A single diatom of uncertain species, possibly Nitzschia palea or Nitzschia dissipata? Cultivated the specimens from an old mop bucket left in the garden and kept in a Petridish on my StudioLAB (SLAB)

I'd really appreciate feedback on this first video I've created with music using LMMS to accompany the original video also created in linux with microscope software ImageViewAlpha and video editor ShotCut. No special prizes for spotting spelling/typo mistake.

I'm struggling to keep motivated. Feeling sad at Mum & Dad transitioning on to the humanly unknowable place. Dad in Dec 23 now Mum Sept 25 :( Kind of just floating around as the funeral looms this Thursday. After the tears I hope that I can find a way to continue to develop the hobbyist microscopy and work on adding music/audio vibes for observer enjoyment. PBWYA-David...

This section of dried #live #blood smear slide preparation reminds me of the #golgi body/apparatus or smooth/rough endoplasmic reticulum!!!
Could #Harold #Hillman be correct that some cellular organelles may in fact be histological #artefacts?

As of yesterday, I began to upload videos to my #peertube channel. I'm unsure if this will be a regular thing or not! Maybe anyone following my mastodon might drop into the channel for curiosty's sake? https://peertube.wtf/c/micronicle.org/videos

The #Leitz APL OEL 1.32 S1.1 has arrived and is now fitted to the #Dialux 20EB's universal condenser.. I conducted a test of the condenser with a #live #blood slide preparation. The initial results are very promising. If you would like to follow along with my progress before anyone else, join my Telegram Channel https://t.me/micronicle0000 as that is what I use to make running notes of my #science #biology #liveblood #analysys using #microscopy.
