Red does the work of a tousand, maybe two tousand

Sedge Buster - Psilocarya nitens.

Since my dang botanists aint here, I aint sure whut this is. But it says on the newspaper it's in, Psilocarya Nitens, Ingleside Peninsula.

This is another CB first; testing out new microspery gizmos. This particular one is a 20mm telescopery ep adapted to microspery that cost me $10.00. The method of adaptation is ye have to put a little masking tape around the barrel fer it to fit snug in the microspery porthole and not wobble around when the digitals attached to it, the ep.

There are a number of drawbacks to takin pictures through a cheap microsope with cheap light with a cheap camera and using eps and barlows from telescopes, also the cheapest I can find. But there is also significant savings to the tune of thousands of dollars.

So this akene is just a lala hair over 1mm stem to stern.

Two experimental pictures are here somewhere. In these kinds of pictures with tiny subjects ye have to compensate for bad light conditions and the inability of the camera to handle depths very well at these tiny sizes and high magnifications. This ep, is a keeper. Plus, I'm gonna get another one to match up with it in the microscope. I already have a 40mm, two 30mms, and this 20mm from the same vendor. They are fair telescopery eps too. They are very much spectacle wearer friendly.
