THIS SITE IS MOVING TO ANOTHER LOCATION:

This site has moved to another blog called, ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY. There will me no further posts to this site. The new site will continue so show my regular shooting progress, but will also contain other topics on photography, such as hands-on equipment and software reviews, historical information on photography, and much more.

When it was set up, the DAILY STOCK SHOT PROJECT was supposed to be a one year project. Last year I extended the project another year due to the popularity of the site, but now it is time to move on.

If you wish to continue following, please visit my new blog at ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY and save it as a new link.

This photograph of human chromosomes was done with a Nikon SKe trinocular microscope I restored and upgraded with modern Nikon microscope optics.  Overall magnification of this image is approximately 750x .  I find the  Nikon D7000 to be a good camera to use on this setup.  The 1.5x magnification of an APS sensor adds extra amplification.  In addition all Nikon professional cameras have a very convenient mirror lock setting -- something that is absolutely essential when shooting through a microscope.

    wow, human chromosomes look so cool under a microscope. I would love to see that in person.
