When your “bouquet” turns out to be ancient ocean life under the #microscope🌸🌊
Not flowers, but fossil coral. Silica slowly replaced calcium carbonate and formed these petal like structures over millions of years.

Thanks, Norm Barker, for this cooperation!

If your #microscopy images look almost right, the problem is rarely the sample.

Small objective lens setup mistakes can quietly ruin data quality, even in experienced labs.
We collected the most common brightfield pitfalls & how to fix them.
