NanoTopia Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Actually, I've looked at lots of proteins under the electron microscope. Honestly, most of them aren't all that interesting. It's the part of my job that I call, "blobology." They're just little blobs. I think they would be much more fascinating from a biochemical standpoint.BTW, I don't have a skimmer yet. If someone wants to get me one, I'd be happy to see what it spits out! I agree. What about coralline algae under the electron? If I had the extra $$ I would buy you a skimmer for simply sharing these amazing shots with us. Link to comment

The sentiment is appreciated! Link to comment

I've actually got a 55g tank going right now, the two tanks I've got in works will come from that tank. As far as dead stuff, I've got a few pieces of montipora digitata, birdsnest, acropora, and now a dead long tentacle plate coral (RIP). I can ship you any pieces of those that you want (only a small piece of the plate, though, I'm hopeful that it's gonna crap out a baby since it took a nosedive). I can also ship you a heaping cupful of skimmate if you want! I dose sugar, so it's extra nasty! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I also have a chalice frag that bleached the heck out, so I can send you that, as well. PM me your address so I can get them over to you. Link to comment
straydog Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Mr Microscope I just bought a new Skimmer for my new build when the system is up and running I can send you my aquac remora nano if you haven't gotten one yet and want it. Link to comment

SDartifex Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Sooooo I kinda wanna change my major after looking through all of these epic photos.. Truely amazing stuff you have here. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Lolz! Hey there! Sorry, work has been so busy lately. I haven't had any spare time to image anything reef related. Perhaps I'll just take in some sand and see what's in there if I have a chance. The most mundane things seem to have the coolest things in them on the microscopic level. Sooooo I kinda wanna change my major after looking through all of these epic photos.. Truely amazing stuff you have here. Thanks SDartifex! I have to admit, I go into work almost every day excited about what I'm doing. Right now, I'm stuck at home cause the whole family is sick. Never thought I'd see the day where I missing my job during a sick day. Link to comment

Oh well; those are the joys of being a new dad, I guess. Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Jealous of you SEM access. The first time I looked through a regular light scope, I was hooked. The world we can't see is amazing beyond words. Following along so I don't miss any more pics! Link to comment
