Microscope Photography: Biology Edition

@phoenixwren · 2019-08-18 15:38 · microscope

Welcome back to another edition of microscope photography! :D The theme for today is ...biology? Yeah, let's go with "biology." X3

Plants:

I finally got some good plant leaf photos! That makes me happy. This is a purple Wandering Dude leaf (if you're confused, a plant group I'm in discovered that the name "Wandering Jew" for this plant is really anti-semitic in origin - there was a medieval myth about a Jewish man who laughed at Jesus or wouldn't help him or something, so was condemned to walk the Earth until the second coming; then that myth was used as Nazi propaganda - so we decided to call these plants Wandering Dudes instead): WIN_20190817_13_21_48_Pro.jpg

Green Wandering Dude leaf: WIN_20190817_13_22_32_Pro.jpg So you see how shiny the green one is? That was kinda the problem with some of the other leaves I tried. Maybe the purple leaf turned out better because it was darker. There are lights on the microscope that can be turned off, but then you can't see anything, lol WIN_20190817_13_22_37_Pro green wandering dude.jpg

Hair:

Maggie fur (she let me do it this time)! WIN_20190817_13_12_13_Pro Maggie fur.jpg

Kitty whiskers (I collect the shed ones when I find them, so no, I didn't grab my cat's faces and put a microscope to them, lol): WIN_20190817_13_15_55_Pro kitty whiskers.jpg

Wood:

So, these are what I am talking about. See that front spot on the shoe where I really need to polish it again? That's the cool looking last photo. Worn shoes for science? LOL WIN_20190817_13_40_41_Pro (2).jpg

Silk:

Because you know I love me some fibers under a microscope. WIN_20190817_13_31_53_Pro.jpg

So there you have it,

Phoenix has fun with his microscope again. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! Have a great day, Steem fam! <3
