This is a bit different use of my cameras that may be of interest.

I have a trinocular compound and a trinocular stereo microscope that I use for entertainment and the stereo microscope comes in handy for examining and cleaning my collection of specimens for focused stacking sessions.

With nothing to do and all day to do it, I flocked the internal surface of the tube and connectors used to connect the camera to the microscope to eliminate any internal glare that affected the quality and contrast of the images taken.

These images are taken with a Swift 380T compound microscope with a 10X eyepiece and a 10X objective resulting in a 100X magnification view of the commercially prepared slides.

The first slide is a silverberry hairy scale which I thought looked like an abstract art painting. The second slide is mosquito eggs that are viewed in a negative view. They were both so small that the slides appeared to be void of anything on them.

I mentioned in a previous email that I once used such a trinocular setup like yours for graduate work in the 1960s. Sadly it was not mine. Your current images reminded me of some of the works of Roman Vishniac. I met him once, back in the '60s. His images of crystals of hormones and othe scientific subjects were fantastic. He had a second life as a documentarian of history. Yours are just as wonderful. Thanks for sharing so often.

This is really interesting, though it did not improve my attitude towards mosquitoes. That looks like quite the man cave you've got there.

Great work. I used to work in a forensic lab and had a scope for my use. It was always interesting seeing the small world

Silverberry hairy scale. Sounds like the name of a racehorse.
