Spock's Sister Sees. The microscope blog – microscopes and microscope restoration. Posts tagged ‘protozoa’. I have been looking at pond water and have come across some protozoans I have never seen before. The first is Pleuronema, it looks like a paramecium but I couldn’t figure out what the “flagella” were. Turns out they aren’t flagella, Pleuronema fishes for food using a net of cilia. Rather interesting little beastie, I made a video of it. Microscopy - all posts. This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Spock's Sister Sees. The microscope blog – microscopes and microscope restoration. May 17, 2015. Just some diatoms that I filmed on the M4000 today. Very busy little things. A quick google informs me that they move using an actin/myosin system. Little tiny muscles, cute. Microscopy - all posts. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

brass lacquer | Spock's Sister Sees
https://spockssister.com/tag/brass-lacquer
Spock's Sister Sees. The microscope blog – microscopes and microscope restoration. Posts tagged ‘brass lacquer’. My first attempts at lacquering. This is one of my first attempts at re-lacquering a Watson Praxis. The old lacquer was almost non-existant so I stripped it off using ammoniated cleaner (nasty stinky stuff), then sanded, polished and grained the tube before applying lacquer.

Spock's Sister Sees. The microscope blog – microscopes and microscope restoration. Archive for the ‘Microscopy – all posts’ Category. A restored brass microscope. This is the piece I have practiced and learned lacquering on. I hope you agree it is a dramatic improvement! It is a Dunscombe microscope. Dunscombe was the son-in-law of Braham and took over his father-in-law’s optical business. In fact, there is still a Dunscombe Optician’s in Bristol UK where they lived and worked.

PERFECT LACQUERING | Spock's Sister Sees
https://spockssister.com/2015/05/30/perfect-lacquering
Spock's Sister Sees. The microscope blog – microscopes and microscope restoration. May 30, 2015. I just did some perfect lacquering! It’s taken six months to achieve but I’ve done it! I have been fighting with this lacquering for so long. I have put it on, taken it off, put it on again…. Every time I have had streaks or runs or patches or it’s been okay but too thick (and hence a funny orange colour). Microscopy - all posts. Hot lacquering of brass. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
