Microscopy

Anything related to things that are too small to see them with the eye, and the tools used to observe them.

This space is quite general in scope - microscopes, microbiology, small component electronics, questions about buying optical components, etc.

@microscopy I do microscopy for fun, and mainly to make art-like images. My microscope is adapted in many ways, like with Polarization and multiple light units.

That’s awesome. Like, seriously. Making art out of some of the smallest things on earth is so freaking cool, and something I had not even conceived of.

Microscopy is so fun, no sarcasm. I like getting to see the things we normally overlook (like the things that live in pond water), and seeing what's known in new ways (like strands of hair). Seeing someone else use theirs for art is awesome!

Got some HD and UHD stuff? I'd be interested :)
