In the process a couple of the strands bearing pollen fell off. I placed them under my LCD microscope to try taking some closer shots.
The ruler (cm / mm markings) shows how small they are:
The resolution is reasonable, though as expected, the depth of field in shallow:
Those tiny grains of pollen are really minute.
In case you don't remember the LCD microscope I use .......
It works from 5V, has a memory card which can store photographs and video and connects to a PC / laptop so the card content can be copied across.
Isn't that amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy middle son uses a microscope to do microsurgery on mice. He is doing cardiac research and looking for ways to heal the heart after a heart attack.
Ellen: I can't imagine the training, skill and concentration needed to perform surgery under a microscope.
