Common
British butterflies at a glance - Colin
Duke (UK) and Steven Shroud (UK) have a compiled a most
impressive illustrated guide to the many species which they
have been able to photograph over the years; the photo-guide
includes a valuable overview of all aspects of a butterfly's
life cycle.
An
inexpensive LED cold light - Andrew
Entwistle (UK) shares an effective lamp design for
low power top light studies based on the USB goose neck
lamps for laptops that are widely available at little
cost. For many roles, the battery powered compact unit can
replace the cumbersome
mains driven and cooled light guides.
A
close-up view of the wildflower 'red clover' - the
red clover must be one of the most overlooked and taken
for granted of all wild flowers; yet as Brian Johnston (Canada)
shows with these gorgeous images, it is a beautiful complex
flower with many features revealed by careful macro
and microscopy studies.
Using
high power LEDS in epi-illuminator systems - Robert Pavlis
(USA) describes and illustrates a design for 'LED epi' using
the Olympus BHM metallurgical microscope as a example.
A
vicarious trip to Florida
- Richard Howey (USA) shares an illustrated essay on the
wonderful variety of subjects to study in samples of Florida
beach sand.
