Thanks for the kind remarks!

For me, looking through a new marine sample is always fascinating and usually presents creatures I've not seen before.

Walter, you forgot to mention the Paramecium bursaria!

Really nice images from a productive collecting trip.

Nice. Reminiscent of Lily pollen if I remember correctly.

Beautiful images, from an obviously successful (and ambitious) modification.
Congratulations!

From recently collected alga (low tide) and a quick plankton net drag. Puget Soound, WA. The first is a polychaete trochophore. This bristle-worm larval stage is planktonic and known as a "trochophore". Very active. Here is a heads on view with electronic flash to stop the action. Olympus 20/0.70 S ...

These (and your other recent post) are great!
I find the 6th one here, daphnia, really intriguing. Very dramatic and like an alien creature from a sci-fi movie!

That is gorgeous!

Briefly stopped by a saltwater beach about a week ago. It was low tide so I collected a bit of algae at the waters edge. It was quite a treasure trove. Normally I use my plankton net for salt water collecting so my subject matter is whatever plankton is caught. This time I saw quite a few new creatu...

Nicely photographed! Fascinating subject.

Nice images. Lovely patterns.

Pau,
These look fantastic! Really nice work.

Andy, just wondered if anyone had discovered and tested any of the latest ones. Did you have a model in mind. The one's I mentioned were from memory, but we ran a series of tests on quite a few other Cree, (as well as a few Luxeons) relatively recently. I can't access the results until the current "...

If you are looking for a "single die" to replace a tungsten bulb filament, you might need to compromise your spec list. If you could figure out how to use a COB of about 10mm diameter you have some very interesting choices. You asked about single die... Cree XP-G2. (5700k, 90CRI, ~6W) CreeXM-L2 (300...

Well, it does appear so, but not because of a bad meal. Get to that later. First... I found this Arcella racing around a recent wet mount. Now they don't move all that fast but I needed 33 images for the stack and during that time it would move from one side of the field of view to the other. (That ...

Really nice. Fascinating!
