Microscopy ensues!

For a long time I yearned for a microscope. Oh, how cruel the fate was never to provide me with one! I was sad and angry, until I realized I had one right on the shelf in the house. So I repaired it and started using it. How cool is that!

The best way to repair something is to break it, of course.

Et voila!

Now, as I don't posses any chemicals to, you know, render bacteria motionless, as that would most likely be illegal and/or quite expensive, I realized it makes much more sense to film them for now. I also need some immersion oil to use the higher magnification.

Pretty! Yestereve I even photographed what I presume is either binary fission or conjugation, which is cool either way.
