[blueheaven]

Sure anot? Later I see pieces of orange meat flying around I come and find you

[blueheaven]

Here's my monti cap starting to form a second layer

[blueheaven]

You guys think this is an indication of splitting?

It still has only 1 mouth though

[blueheaven]

It is normal

Just remember to cut off closest to the disk

[blueheaven]

Bro,

Haha no wonder I got difficulty playing the guitar

[blueheaven]

And for those who PMed me about how to get those foreground focused, background blue shots, I use aperture priority and set the F-value to the lowest to achieve a lower depth of field

Here's my monti cap starting to form a second layer

Hmm...nice is it the one we exchange the other time??

[blueheaven]

Yep that's the one!!!

[blueheaven]

Ok here's some examples I took just now to show the depth of field

This is with F2.8 (Look carefully at the green elephant ear at the back)

[blueheaven]

This is with F5.0 (Keep looking at the green elephant ear)

[blueheaven]

And finally with F8.0 (Notice the elephant ear looks clearer?)

[blueheaven]

Ok, I got nothing to do and I did this

A mini experiment to check out the cool microscopic life in my tank.

Flooded a cup of tank water with DT's Live Phytoplankton and I used my old bicycle lamp to attract the pods.

Checked a drop with 600x magnification from my microscope and let me tell you, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF LIFE IN THAT DROP!!!!!

[blueheaven]

Those specks you see are actually pods

When I first looked into the scope under 100x magnification, I could see the pods eating the phyto cells.

Upon 600x magnification, I founf that in the mass of phyto cells, there are translucent oval shaped organisms moving amongst the cells!!!!

[weileong]

mai tu liao.... photos or videos

[blueheaven]

Last pic, will wait a few days and hopefully I will see more life in that drop

BTW, I also saw a hairlike organism moving by swinging its flagellum, don't think dirty

[blueheaven]

mai tu liao.... photos or videos

Haha.... I try to take a short video with my digicam tomorrow

Dunno whether can focus anot

[blueheaven]

Sian.. Just as I expected, my camera is unable to focus the image in the microscope eyepiece.

I'll bring in my videoscope soon and hopefully we can get some pics

[veliferium]

Wah so many gadgets.....

[blueheaven]

Haha check out the videoscope

Now taking pictures would be a breeze

Now the worry is whether I can see anything with the max. 50x magnification

[blueheaven]

Guess everything has its limits...

[RAV-65]

Wah biangz bro... you scientist or wat?!
