This is WA-A-A-A-Y cool!
Angelo in Oregon just sent me some pictures of a slab of my dad’s dino bone taken with a 200X microscope …. THAT ATTACHES TO YOUR PHONE. I didn’t know anything like that existed. And it’s relatively cheap too. (The dino bone has a higher price tag than the phone attachment.)
I have been trying for years to get some high quality pictures of the “sticks” (some are reeds, others are wood sticks) in the center of the Algae-on-a-Stick that my dad found. My neighbor down the road is a professional photographer and I even talked him into coming up and taking a picture. But he didn’t own a macro lens for his expensive camera so that didn’t work out too well either. (His specialty is the landscapes of Zion Canyon.)
I’m gonna get one!
In the meantime, this is what a dino bone slab looks like at 200X.
