| Doubt Santa will bring me a $25,000 microscope plus attachments, certainly not with the current economic situation. :-( Would come in handy this week, however. |

In the early 90's I worked for a company that built some of these confocal machines w/laser+microscope+computer etc., but the price wasn't $25,000, it was more like $250,000-$350,000. I wasn't into photography then, but the lasers sure were fun to play with ;)
(eta: more accurately, they were interactive laser cytometers I believe.)

| They are beautiful, but they might as well be using the Hubble telescope. Does it matter that much if there is a Nikon, Canon, or Barbie camera attached to the end of it? The microscope does most of the heavy lifting. |

Look at 2nd place... shot using a lowly Nikon 995 and an SMZ10, which is a relatively low-cost stereo microscope! |

I looked that up and it's $2,500 for the microscope. I guess that passes for cheap in the microscope field.

Ah, I didn't realize Nikon also made the microscope. I guess that is worth bragging about. |

What fabulous shot's !!
I am endlessly fascinated by the wonder and order of creation. These shot's look are looking at impossibly small things, but still they are perfectly formed, whole worlds within worlds . . |
