Microphotography

One of my hobbies is microphotography, or the photographing of microscopic things. It doesn't seem like a lot of people take pictures of this realm, so I have decided to help bring fascinating aspects of biology to the attention of people everywhere. I currently use a rather improvised setup consisting of a 400x microscope and a digital camera. It is quite challenging to line up the shots correctly and to get the lighting right, but the results are very cool!
