A couple more snowflakes...
Today, I was able to get out and capture some fresh snow. While I set up the microscope, I set a slide in the driveway and let Nature have at it. Next time, I'll try to experiment with more sidelighting, as well as a brighter source light...

The first photo was taken at 35X, while the second photo is 100X.

Enjoy and stay warm,

Tim!

Really amazing, the structure of each flake is so uniform, but only unto itself. Really fascinating... keep 'em coming!
