Making of Microscope

> The first plan <

To control a height in detail, I choose a screw and legs like tripod. Inside of Set #1 I would put into a camera and I thought it can be control a height through turning of legs. To be useful I put into a spring between set #1 and outside frame. After a while, I found that it could be difficult, impossible to control it. I had to change a plan.

3D Model

cardboard model

changing camera lens

during making of lens i got some problem. a surface of lens is stained with some superglue!!! i tried to erase it. but it was going wrong. so i change my mind... i broke a lens. i thought it is just protect-lens and for wide angle. but i also worried to be worst myself. i hope one eureka! or buy new thing.

and then i yelled eureka.

The first group of object for a test shot is things around me and info-guide from Max. Handy screen, wings of a deaf bugs, soil, leaves, hair, skin of onion and from my lips, spit, earwax from my cat etc. And i got some problems about a lighting. it needs to make it better.

I choose freeware webcam program 'Debut video capture software'. http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html It can be controlled easier and with more tools to take a better video.

Second test video

I took a picture another objects what I choose and found by myself. There were ice cream, strawberry jam, rotten milk, salt, urine, blood. Then I mixed 2 things of that. Clay and dish soap, jam and milk, salt and papper. On its way I tried to mix a milk and olive oil but it didn’t and separated each other. And they have shown something special to me. A bubble and a drop of milk in olive oil have moved very slowly and silky. A form of that is perfect circle.

Second test video of class 'DIY-Microscopy' at Bauhaus Uni Weimar, Germany. I give a title "cell division". I have shaken hard one drop of water with black watercolor in olive oil and it is divided finely. After a while it's started to merge together. Edited on reverse and regulated speed. (Origin length of video is 36min.) Second test shot

At the second previous test shot(http://vimeo.com/55711862) I set a theme about the creature and birth of everything. I defined the most form of everything of the world is circle, like a somatic and red blood cell and it grows up a planet or the sun. And it is also one of basic form of moment when something created or be born. I look for perfect circle around of us what we can see though our eyes. I asked myself from where start to create and we came. It can be created by the God or by ourself.
