The camera lives on...

I received the camera today so I had to test it out since the opportunity presented itself. The picture is taken through a stereomicroscope at 45x magnification of a live amphipod from the Big Sioux River. On a qualitative stream survey, we found our water to be very clean. So the camera isn't just for live pollen anymore. School is going well. I find myself saying "protocol" instead of lab instructions sometimes. Must be a remnant from the prairie.Live amphipod (scud).jpg

Hi Greg,

I'm glad to see the camera is being put to new and different uses.

When looking at the awesome pollen images at
http://pollen.wikispaces.com/ I noticed that the background color varies from yellowish to bluish. Do you know why?
