Another image from my microscope
Thought I’d post another teaser for my eventual full report on this summer’s weekend at the beach with microscope and plankton net.
This little beastie is at least clearly identifiable. An amphipod like this is actually visible to the naked eye, and fills the entire field of view at 40x magnification. Although I don’t think this is one, the most familiar amphipod is the so-called sand flea or sand hopper.
