Common British butterflies at a glance - Colin Duke (UK) and Steven Shroud (UK) have a compiled a most impressive illustrated guide to the many species which they have been able to photograph over the years; the photo-guide includes a valuable overview of all aspects of a butterfly's life cycle. An inexpensive LED cold light - Andrew Entwistle (UK) shares an effective lamp design for low power top light studies based on the USB goose neck lamps for laptops that are widely available at little cost. For many roles, the battery powered compact unit can replace the cumbersome mains driven and cooled light guides. A close-up view of the wildflower 'red clover' - the red clover must be one of the most overlooked and taken for granted of all wild flowers; yet as Brian Johnston (Canada) shows with these gorgeous images, it is a beautiful complex flower with many features revealed by careful macro and microscopy studies. Using high power LEDS in epi-illuminator systems - Robert Pavlis (USA) describes and illustrates a design for 'LED epi' using the Olympus BHM metallurgical microscope as a example. A vicarious trip to Florida - Richard Howey (USA) shares an illustrated essay on the wonderful variety of subjects to study in samples of Florida beach sand. A close-up view of the 'Geraldton waxflower' - Brian Johnston (Canada) explores the macro and microscopic potential of this attractive flowering plant.
