 All of the microscope photos taken on this blog are taken with a specialized microscope camera attached to my 40x - 1000x AmScope Dual LED microscope. Most of the subjects are prepared slides, but I am planning on phasing in wet slides in the future as well. 

Camera Specifications:

• Sensor: Aptina
• Sensor Type: CMOS
• Sensor Size: 3.58x2.69mm
• Pixel Size: 5.6
• Resolution: .35MP (640x480)

I cannot write the exact magnification of the photos because everyone will be viewing them on different screens. If you would like to calculate the magnification, however, consult the video here. 

A valuable resource that I reference while creating my posts is the Rochester Institute of Technology's Virtual Microscope Lab. I encourage you to explore their unbelievably sharp photos here:
