    I loved your explanation on 3:00 when you explain about those insects in a funny manner. Well Oliver, what is your most loving part in microscopy: 1.Collecting sample 2.Preparing slides 3.Observing 4.Shooting with camera 5.Editing the video for our likes! My most exiting part is collection of samples(especially pond water) and observing, while slide preparation is a boring job and sometimes get's messy. Also we have to clean all slides after observation. well tell me of yours. Lord bless you!

    Hi MIcroBH. Many congratulations for all your marvelous work in Amateur Micros. I think that those "insects" are Collembola, also know as springtails (they jump when in danger). However they (many species on a handful of soil) have 3 pairs of legs, they are (know) not considered insects, they are classifed as hexapods. They are very abundant on soils.

I really thank him.

I shove anything i can think of under my scope, even gunge from cleaning the kitchen sink overflow or any fungus or soil particles, just anything. Now if you want to scare yourself put little insects under your scope, some are really weird and if they were the size of dogs we'd be reluctant to go outside.

    I included both. The images where you see the insects like through a magnifying glass were taken with a stereo microscope. The ones of the worms were taken with a compound.

    Sidenote, those "insects" aren't actually insects. They're in the same phylum as the insect class, but these belong to the class entognatha... pretty sure they're from the collembola ordo, but that's as far as I can narrow it down, I'm not an expert tho

    If you want to do cell biology for research, then you have to study Biology/Microbiology and then specialize in Cell Biology. If you want to do microscopy of cells with in a more medical direction, then you study Histology (the study of tissues).

    The problem with that is, becasue there is also a photo adapter in between that changes the magnification. And sometimes I crop the image and then this again changes the magnification. Adding the objective magnification therefore would sometimes be misleading. But I am doing all my work with the following objectives: 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x.
