I received the camera today so I had to test it out since the opportunity presented itself. The picture is taken through a stereomicroscope at 45x magnification of a live amphipod from the Big Sioux River. On a qualitative stream survey, we found our water to be very clean. So the camera isn’t just for live pollen anymore. School is going well. I find myself saying “protocol” instead of lab instructions sometimes. Must be a remnant from the prairie.



Hi Greg,
I’m glad to see the camera is being put to new and different uses.
When looking at the awesome pollen images at
http://pollen.wikispaces.com/ I noticed that the background color varies from yellowish to bluish. Do you know why?
