How Does This Look For Coral Selection/placement?

[TigerIssey]

There is a great difference between a light microscope (the one I want) and an electron microscope. Not all labs have an electron microscope. The main specialist hospitals will, by this I mean Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London (not sure which hospitals as these cities have many). One centre in each city will probably have one though, they are incredibly expensive.

If I tell you the newer light microscopes we use that are ergonomically designed etc cost around 5000-10000 pounds. We have a fluorescent microscope at work they are fun but the UV bulb only has 100 hrs use at £100 a bulb. I know this as I had to use one in my honours project and it needed replacing half way through.

god thats extortionate but worth it

I can probably get an old style microscope similar to the ones used in universities (must be binocular not monocular) for around £150 but there is always something else that I want or is needed. The only thing I want it to have is the carl zeiss lens, these are widely renowned as the best lenses in microscopes and cameras etc. As long as they are set up right (first thing you should be taught but som many people I work with cannot set them up) they are still excellent microscopes.

I'm off for 2 weeks as well!

But I have planned my own work experience at a hospital for a week! Wake up at 6am and get back at 6pm, gonna be tough, but I don't care what it takes to be a doctor!

Good luck truck!

Really like the blue background Truck
You seem to love the planning as much as me
You certainly know what you are doing, I'm looking forward to seeing it develop

cheers trod, its got black on the back, it cost me £6!!!! but they didnt have the right size so i had to buy one that was 2 foot high, anyway only had to trim 10 cm of the top. expensive buy, buts its self adhesive.

its a lot of fun planning isnt it.

Lucky kids and your vacations

Coming together truck. While you're planning, have you had a read through any good reef chemistry articles? Would help you learn the balancing act between magensium, alkalinity, calcium, and salinity . Anything by Dr. Randy Holmes-Farley will help, a few are among the realm of knowledge thread

Can vouch for those articles, in my sleeplessness I have read them.

look at what i saw today

reserved him, he's 1.5" and there is another juvenile coming in so i will have dibs on him too.

£20 for the pair, tank bred too!

ive told them to let the leather and dotty back go, as i want to wait until my tank is nearly stocked fish wise before adding the dottyback.

 

[TigerIssey]

Very nice Truck, seems to be a lot less black on him than mine have. The black lines are much much thinner, but you did say that was what you wanted.

Must have been gutting to let the dottyback go. Any reason you did not want the leather, or was it the limited funds??

Tank bred definately the way to go!!

 

[Truck]

i like clowns with limited black lines, i dont know why, lol

hes a fine specimen, i let them go because, i do not want to add him at this moment in time, as there is another species im looking at too, the diadem dotty back.

i let the leather go because i dont want to add corals until i have some of my stock in.

im sure anotehr will pop up.

btw just noticed your sig

the week after easter i will have live rock touch wood.
