Thanks Jacek

Thanks carlos, it was done with an Olympus BHT laying on it's back and MSplan/ Neo S Plan objectives.

Thanks Dave, that's correct the cultures were from https://mikesphyto.com/

I thought it would be interesting to see rotifers in an environment with some context of scale. Video shows them feeding on tetraselmis within a drop being pipetted.

Updated to include DIC footage and drop on slide

Thanks you all for the information. Alan, I took a closer look, the divert section above the head is Olympus and it contains an optical flat which sends the image to the side port. I can see that the divert section has been mounted through the head which has been drilled. The side port looks like it...

I've just acquired an Olympus BHT which has a side port above the viewing head. The image can be directed to this port via a rotating knob on the back. The port contains what looks like a photo eyepiece. The port has an internal diameter of about 49 mm. Does anyone know what this head is called and ...

Very impressive imaging and beautiful

Thanks for the additional information on viewing angle and step estimation Rik. I need to have another go at imaging the nucleus.

Composites of multiple species of pond algae and desmids, DIC, 40x S-Plan Apo.

Hi Rik, what would be the minimum number of steps i would need to render the stereo view

I found trying to image the nucleus very challenging as it's deep inside the cell and often masked by the chloroplasts. Focus stacked, 40x S-Plan APO DIC flash

Hi Rik, its list price is $250K I had to send it back but hope to experiment with this camera by the end of the week http://hadlandimaging.com/ix-cameras-i-speed-7-series/

Thanks for the kind comments.

Hi Rik, you are right I messed up my units. Thanks for noticing I'll correct it.

I've been playing around with a high speed video camera. On loan from Hadland Imaging. The camera can do 10 million frames per second. http://hadlandimaging.com/shimadzu-hyper-vision-hpv-x2/ I've not used anywere near that frame rate yet, but have imaged rotifer and tetraselmis at 1000 fps.
