I’ve always been fascinated by plankton, but a good video microscope has been out of my reach (mostly because i spend all my disposable $$ on camera crap) When I saw this (how to make a microscope with cheap laser pointer lens and iPhone)   i immediately went out and bought the parts and thanks to my friend Neal Chism and his hotshop, made one of the stands.

My goal with these videos is to help show that every drop of our precious Puget Sound is alive, and when we pollute it, the stormwater is not going into just water, but flowing into and poisoning the homes of the foundation of our food web, and a nursery for so many baby critters that it boggles the mind.
