Brilliant, Steve!
2b, 4 &, above all, 7.
Absolutely my kind of photography.
Better than a low-power stereo microscope!
More, please.

No. 6 is a Booklouse (Liposcelis sp.), it's probably doing you a good turn and eating all the microscopic mould in your bathroom. They're smaller than 0.5 mm. (bet you all desperately wanted to know they eh!:blush
Cracking shots!
Kind regards

Some impressive magnification here, but the most pleasing image for me would have to be compound eyes, they look fantastic and the dof is spot on.
