I finally bought a microscope (a 30-year old Zeiss Jenamed 2) after years of wanting one, and here are some first test pictures I made during the last months. Can't wait for the huge amount of snow around me to melt so I can go out and take water samples and other fun stuff!
Crystals of menthol in cross-polarized light, 10x.
A hair in cross-polarized light, 10x. Never knew hair was birefringent!
A grain of sand in cross-polarized light, 20x.
Some unknown stuff I found in a molten snow sample, darkfield, 40x.
Diatoms in darkfield, 20x.
A cyclops in partially cross-polarized light, 10x.
