Please do not make enquiries asking to buy any of the equipment on the "Equipment" page. It is NOT for sale! The information is there purely to allow people to see what equipment I use and to save me time when I am asked the very common question of which cameras/lenses I use. |

All I need to do now is figure out a way to photograph the females giving birth to the fully developed larvae without them escaping and flying around the lab... |
