weeding that puppy must have really been a b***h !!!

Ha! Well macro(-photography) capable microscopes, is what I meant. I couldn’t think what the name was they call those scopes they attach either a camera or video to.

End-o-scopes wouldn’t have been right, because everyone knows those go up yer end, hence their name. Obviously.

I would love to see it shot by the guys at GigaMacro

End-o-scopes

Ironically that’s the one that goes in your stomach, not the other “end”

Useless trivia: Nikon calls all their macro lenses micro because Nikon started in microscopes.

Facial play-by-play when I tried to run the same thing past my girlfriend (also a doctor):

Me: “And that’s why it’s called an end-o-scope.”
Her:
Me:

What can I say? I enjoy making her cringe with really really bad “medical dad-jokes”.

soon would be able to engrave mites. Right now they only cut/vaporize.

I do intend to write my name on mites

pretty soon, with the Glowforge, we’ll be seeing “tatoo-ed” mites all over the place

and, it will be in spy movies, with secret messages sent in bags of rice and on the backs of mites

@cynzu

with secret messages sent in bags of rice

mustard seeds. Rice is so yesterday morning… yeeesh.

Does it show up better on brown rice?

Chuckle! I’ll see what I can come up with.

[Christopher]

yeah right, like what else could be better?!

[joker]

well now I know what I can give everyone for Christmas!

“Here you go kids!!”
“Um, what is this? One piece of rice?”
“Well yeah, but look carefully!”
“Uuhh, dad, it’s just a piece of rice…”
“But look CLOSER…”

ad infinitum

[jordanloshinsky]

Now to make a positional rice grain jig so I can batch produce for all the relatives…

To paraphrase the immortal words of Beavis, from Beavis & Butthead:

I’m gonna forge a GF Logo, on a GF Logo, that I placed on something tiny with my Forge

[christopher_cantrell]

Jules, you amaze and delight!

[Jules]

Thank you kindly! (It was a fun little diversion.)

[Ryan.M]

WOW. Just wow

Speaking with some photographic experience here, sometimes things that are hard to see under direct light show up much better with a light that comes from the side and skims across the surface. I’m not sure if a soft edge or a hard edge on the light would make a difference, but if you get the chance to try it, I’d like to know if it works.

If your camera has a macro mode, that would make it easier, too. Macro is going to be really helpful for anyone printing tiny things and wanting to share photos. It might be in your camera settings if you are using your phone.

When I did the mustard seed, that’s why I had to photograph it in the GlowForge since the lights come from the side like a photo booth
