The urea comes from work, where it's used (Adblue) as an additive for our lorry to reduce emissions

It's a Wedmore SP14 from Bunel Microscopes, David.

A clone of the venerable Swift 950. That's a nice result considering the optics!

Wonderful abstracts, I like 'em.

I used to do similar photos of thin rock sections when I was a Photographer at University College London, Geology Department -- I had a Zeiss Photomicroscope and used 'Ferraniacolor' Tungsten Balanced film and also I tried 'Gevaert Scientiacolor Negative ' film , both of which I processed myself.
