Thanks Charlie, I'm not sure how serious they (the person who asked the question) are in obtaining correct sperm counts or if they have any idea of the requirements. They may only wish to see if there are a sufficient number of 'contenders' in the sample? Equipment requirements will be determined by...

What type of microscope would be suitable for stallion semen sperm counting? seriously I was asked this question today, did some Google searching and found a number of approaches, most of which use various configerations .i.e. heating platforms, etc. Can the same process be accomplished using a stan...

Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness on-camera

Thanks Sam, Here is a crop of the next generation. While I was taking the latest images a bull ant came along; but quickly retreated when challenged by the 'parent'.

Bug and Eggs
Breezy day, on-board flash diffused with Nikon SU-4 diffuser. Host plant - Gardenia (underside of leaf) Image 1 and 2 rotated 90° CW Nikon D100, Micro Nikkor 3.5/55mm and PK13 extension ring. ISO was set to 800 - hence the 'noise' - unintentional/ oops! http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/...

For those who are in the vicinity of the Macleay Museum at The University of Sydney it might be worth a visit between 01 August 2008 – 01 February 2009 for the Small Matters: Exploring The World Of M...
