Tax season is done, finally. Getting back to focus on microbiology. I'm still slogging through all the phyla of bacteria, then on to archaea.

Phase contrast is invaluable in seeing unstained slides. So far I've observed bacillus subtillis (natto), lactobacillus casei strain shirota (yakult), and red blood cells,neutrophils, and eosinophils (had to stain those to see with methelyne blue). I need to go get some thinner cover slips. I'm unable to focus at 1000x through the thick glass, even with immersion oil.
