The development of Physella, a freshwater snail. Part 1 - Walter Dioni (Mexico) shares an attractive illustrated essay showing the fascinating aspects of the snail's development. (Editor's note: at the risk of making Walter blush, Walter has just reached his 80th birthday, congratulations!) Preparation of crystals for observation - Robert Pavlis (USA) shares practical advice on the different approaches for making crystal mounts for 'polar' observation. A trip into the past: part 8 - Richard Howey (USA) continues his affectionate look at the quirky aspects of some past American natural history magazines. A homemade stage for stereo microscopes - Daniel Holloway (US) shares a neat design suitable for many models. A close-up view of three extraordinarily small wild flowers - Brian Johnston (Canada) shows that the most unassuming tiny flowers we can dismiss as weeds can be very attractive on the macro / micro level. Used phase condensers. Servicing the Wild M20's phase condenser - Paul James (UK) presents an easy to follow illustrated guide for users of this classic microscope. Harris' hematoxylin: fixing and staining protozoa - Richard Howey (UK) show the usefulness of this stain and shares protocols for its use. A close-up view of 'wood spurge' - Brian Johnston (Canada) takes a macro and microscopic tour of this intriguing but often overlooked plant. Notes on adapting a Nikon Labophot 1 stand for LED use - David Walker (UK) finds this model's lamphouse particularly suitable for LED adaptation and for studies where 'on the fly' changes of LED wavelength are useful.
