The Leitz Orthoplan and Ortholux II research microscopes - Normand and Gregor Overney (USA) share an illustrated comparison of these two classic microscopes with particular reference to photomicrography options for both models. (Presented as a 20 page downloadable Acrobat® pdf document.) The very basic compound microscope - Rolf Vossen (Netherlands) shows that a good used basic scope (in this case an Olympus student stand) can give competent visual and photographic results, and is a good choice for the novice before deciding whether to invest in a more advanced model. A close-up view of the mimosa - Brian Johnston (Canada) illustrates the attractive features of this intriguing plant on the macro and microscopic scale. Topical tips. An annotated list of on-line links and bibliography on ... mini-aquariums, micro-aquariums, hanging drops, wet chambers and elementary microcompressors. Part 2 - Walter Dioni (Mexico) concludes his series which discusses the pros and cons of these various techniques. Richard Hancock, Microscopist (1870-1952) - Brian Stevenson (USA) shares an illustrated essay on the life and work of this microscopist and slide mounter. Coaxing your digicam to capture darkfield - Paul James (UK) describes 'a very simple method for getting a correctly exposed image' with digicams having little to no exposure compensation features. The novitiate's odyssey. Episode two: Willie in Wonderland; Through the looking scope…err looking through the scope - G. Joseph Wilhelm (USA) shares his further experiences and lessons learned while renovating the microscopes he has bought. A close-up view of the chrysanthemum - Brian Johnston (Canada) illustrates the macro and microscopic features of this classic flower. A selection of books old and new for the microscopy enthusiast (by year) and (by author) - G. Joseph Wilhelm (USA) shares a compilation of books which he has found useful. (Links are direct to 3-4 page downloadable Acrobat® pdf documents.) A number of the out of copyright books are available to download from Google Books or Archive.org. Forays into fluorescence 3: Exploring the 'BPAE' triply stained microscope slide with or without fluorescence equipment - David Walker (UK) studies the complementary slide often sent to Nikon / Olympus image competition entrants; includes a repeat of a study which illustrated that darkfield alone with a halogen lamp can reveal the fluorescence imagery. Updated Nov 10th with imagery and details of work shared by Mike Gibson. Next month's special feature: Rochester Institute of Technology, New York; articles by photomacrography course students. Micscape are again delighted to host articles by this year's course students; an article on each student's project forms part of their course assignment as kindly organised and offered by Michael Peres, the course director (and in past years by Ted Kinsman).
