Hi,
My name is Steve and I live near London in the UK. I have always had a microscope as far back as I can remember, from the little plastic-framed one that my parents gave me. As a 17 year old I did a project on insect mouthparts and used the schools beautiful Zeis Photomicroscope II.
Fast forward a few years and I was a student (Geology/Biology) and owner of a boom-mounted stereo mic and an old petrological (polarising) one too. As a post-grad all my work was done using stereo mics and SEMs.
Now after years in an different field I find my self back doing some science in my own time. I have just bought a Realux BK5000T trinocular microscope and a Canon 1000D to go on it (waiting for the relay lens adapter!).
My main interest is going to be plant thin sections although I have to admit that pond water is addictive.
What drew me to this site? Well I have always enjoyed macrophotography (I owned a Zenit camera with M42 bellows as a teenager). The thing that actually linked to this site was Ecki's (Eckhard?) fantastic Etzold staining of botanical material.
Cheers
Steve
