REDCHEQHEN Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Inconclusive from one off your photos - this looks like starch - otherwise you can't see if there is anything else there - take some more samples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would suspect you have used the flotation method for the above an alternative method is to mix a sample in some water thoroughly mix and place a drop on the slide - it doesn't have to be covered with a cover slip - but would save contaminating your lens if it you used a cover slip - this method produces a denser sample and there will be more to see under the microscope - also - make a note of the magnification of your photos - as that also helps in the identification - some things can be seen clearly at x40 others at x100 and some things are best seen at x400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 i bought a microscope at blackpool last year just cant get the hang of it looking in the thing all isee is my eye lashes ;D I wear glasses - was told not to wear them when using microscope - but then have this problem - eyelashes - when you wear glasses you don't have the problem with the eyelashes !! Its just another method - flotation is fine but you might not catch the floaters !! (evil) I WILL TRY MIXING WITH WATER DID NOT KNOW THAT WATER WOULD DO THE JOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 According to my chart the first pic says: dynamic Mars, the Sun and the New Moon all lighting up the area of your skies that rules your social life and friendships, the importance of being open to people you meet, and of breaking exciting new ground, is strongly stressed this week. The time has also come to take a much more confident approach to a career dilemma. Make the opening move midweek. whoops :B wrong chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Owen Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Like the other replies, you need to say what magnification you used. I think you have yeast there but not much too worry about. Quite a few of the lads arround here have learned to use a microscope. We have taught each other. Someone said that you should use vinegar. Sounds right. You need to check the birds in a week to see if the vinegar works. Use 400 magnification to identify yeast. You should see the little teddy bears and the buds growing from some of them. Last year I had bad cocci with my YBs and treated them with Baycox. Normally Baycox would clear the lot out. I tested them again a week later and, although the cocci was much better, I still had it. It took three attempts to clear it up. If I had'nt had a microscope I would never have been able to understand what was happening. Just recently I checked the birds and found hair worm in the stock hens. The good thing now is that I do not need to treat for cocci or canker, just worms. Saved money and avoided using drugs that the birds did not need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 the magnification of the eyepiece multiplied by the magnification of the lower lens - they should all be numbered with their magnification ie - eyepiece is x5 lower lens is x10 magnification = x50 eyepiece x10 lower lens x40 magnification = x400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
