New Microscope

microscopeSo, I got this beautiful old German microscope. I’m pretty fascinated at the idea of looking at anything through some sort of scope. This thing is beautiful but still with some problems, the power supply seems to be dead so I’m having to improvise with the light at this point, and getting my camcorder to play nice with it is taking some time. Nevertheless, there’s great things to be done with it. Here is my first look through it. I’d post it here on the page but the size of the video blows this page design into uselessness. You’ll also have to use your back button to get back. Anyway it’s about 12 min. of footage looking first at some ground coffee (Cafe Bustello), some arbitrary shots of the microscope itself and, finally, a mostly cat hair dust mass that I had to douse with water to keep it still.
I’m looking for what to look at next once I get some of the technical issues dealt with. I’d be happy to post the higher quality footage if anyone can think of some use for it. Let me know.
