"Few objects are more beautiful than the minute siliceous cases of the Diatomaceæ: were these created that they might be examined and admired under the higher powers of the microscope?” (Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species). Interesting facts about Diatoms: they are unicellular organisms, specifically microalgae, and live in waterways, oceans, and soils; they produce approximately 20 to 50 percent of the oxygen on Earth; they are primary producers in the food chain and constitute nearly half of the organic material found in the oceans; since the discovery of the microscope, architects and artists have been inspired by Diatom forms.

DIATOM TEST SLIDES FOR OPTICAL MICROSCOPES (MICROSCOPE SLIDES OF SELECTED, MICROMANIPULATED TEST DIATOMS). TEST YOUR MICROSCOPE! Venture into the Micro and Nano structures! DIATOM TEST SLIDES ARE EXTREMELY USEFUL TO: A) evaluate and compare microscope models, objectives, eyepieces, condensers, light sources, optical filters, microscope cameras and microscope illumination techniques such as bright field, oblique illumination, differential interference contrast (DIC), phase contrast, dark field, polarized light, Rheinberg illumination, and Hoffman modulation contrast! B) quantify resolution in optical microscopes (defined as the smallest distance between two points on a specimen that can still be distinguished by the observer or camera system as two separate entities); C) practice using your microscopes at their highest levels! D) examine the variations in contrast and resolution by regulating the condenser aperture diaphragm; E) understand the importance of correction collar for minimazing spherical aberration
All micromanipulated Diatoms are guaranteed to be fixed directly to the UNDERSIDE of the custom, optical quality cover glass (and not, as is common, on the microscope slide) for maximum resolution and contrast! (The reason for this: microscope objective performance drops quickly and noticeably as the specimen distance from the cover glass increases. Microscope objective lenses are designed to be optimally corrected for objects located immediately below the coverslip!)

OPTICAL ABERRATIONS DETECTOR. It's a very useful Diatom Lab microscope slide that detects optical aberrations - even the most imperceptible ones - in light microscopy, such as: a) Curvature of field (the image appears sharp and crisp in the center or on the edges of the viewfield but not both); b) Distortion (changes in the shape of the image); c) Barrel distortion and Pincushion distortion; d) Spherical aberration (the specimen image appears hazy or blurred and slightly out of focus); e) Chromatic aberration (presence of color fringes at the edges of the borders); f) Astigmatism (the ideal circular point image blurs into a diffuse circle, elliptical patch, or line). Thanks to this unique microscope slide, you can easily test and compare your objectives, eyepieces, condensers, phototubes, microscope cameras, and magnification changers! This is an amazing microscope slide in the center of which there are, incredibly, 90.000 microscopic perfect squares having a side of 10 µm (ten micrometres or microns) and 10 µm apart! These microscopic perfect squares also form nine larger squares useful in case of low magnification (see the page "Optical Aberrations Detector, Centering Device, Micrometers" for better image quality). This slide is excellent for testing macro lenses as well! Click on this link to download the pdf file. All Rights Reserved.

CENTERING DEVICE & MICROMETER GLASS SLIDE. It's an all-in-one microscope slide that incorporates a centering device to center the microscope and the camera and a stage micrometer for microscope calibration. The centering device consists of 25 perfect concentric circles, 50  µm (fifty micrometres or microns) thick and 50 µm apart! It is very useful to center the microscope parts (condenser top lens, field iris diaphragm, prisms of the binocular/trinocular head, etc.) and the microscope camera. (It is advisable to make changes to the microscope only if you are an expert.) The stage micrometer for microscope calibration is a 1 mm Scale with 0,01 mm (10  µm) divisions; the slide can be used in combination with a micrometer eyepiece or a measurement software (for cameras) in order to measure preparations.

STREW DIATOM SLIDES: enjoy the DIATOM SAFARI Each microscope slide contains dozens, if not hundreds, of strewn cleaned Diatoms that haven't been selected and micromanipulated. The Diatoms in the images below are just an example of the species you might find in each slide, in fact the species list of each sample is copious (the more slides you buy, the more chance you have of finding different species). Strew slides reveal the complex nature of a sample at a glance: unlike slides containing selected and micromanipulated Diatoms (see further down), some strew slides may also contain few radiolarians, diatom fragments and spicules. All strewn Diatoms are guaranteed to be fixed directly to the UNDERSIDE of the custom optical quality cover glass (and not, as is common, on the microscope slide) for maximum resolution and contrast! The reason for this: microscope objective performance drops quickly noticeably as the specimen distance from the cover glass increases. Microscope objective lenses are designed to be optimally corrected for objects located immediately below the coverslip!
NEW! RARE set of four strew microscope slides: RARE fossil Japanese Diatoms from four locations! All samples contains many species (images in dark field are just examples of what you can find). RARE SPECIES INCLUDE: Arachnoidiscus sendaicus N.E.Brown, 1933 (Suzu sample), Rutilaria longicornis Tempère & Brun in Brun & Tempère, 1889 (Suzu sample), Denticulopsis praehyalina Tanimura 1989 (Oki sample), Diploneis yatukaensis Horikawa & Okuno in Okuno, 1944 (Hiruzen sample), Didymosphenia fossilis Horikawa & Okuno, 1944 (Okunameshi sample), Pinnularia hartleyana var. notata Kobayashi 1968 (Okunameshi sample)...

SINGLE DIATOM MOUNTS (MICROSCOPE SLIDES OF ONE SELECTED, MICROMANIPULATED DIATOM). All micromanipulated Diatoms are guaranteed to be fixed directly to the UNDERSIDE of the custom, optical quality cover glass (and not, as is common, on the microscope slide) for maximum resolution and contrast! The reason for this is that: microscope objective performance drops quickly and noticeably as the specimen distance from the cover glass increases. Microscope objective lenses are designed to be optimally corrected for objects located immediately below the coverslip!
Let's start your COLLECTION of beautiful Single specimen slides of Diatoms today! Each MYSTERY microscope slide contains one Selected, Micromanipulated Diatom with scientific name and locality printed on the label. In Diatom Cubed mountant.
