Amphipod and assorted diatoms, magnified

[squidzilla]

Taking my new microscope for a spin.

Amphipod (40x). There were tiny, spherical, mobile creatures within its appendages, just cruising around...

Diatoms (1000x)

Ain't Nature grand?

Thanks! It's a Swift SW350T. Not sure if I'm going to keep it, as it was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but with every slide I view I'm getting more and more attached! The optics really are quite good.

Sand skater isopod?

Sand skater isopod?

Not sure. Gonna post it in its own thread and maybe it'll get some traction. There was recognizable cardiac activity under the next-to-terminal abdominal segment (might be called a pleomere, if I'm consulting the proper anatomy reference).
