The incredible result is that important parts of micromineral photographs need never be out of focus again.
Some years ago mechanical experimentation began to explore the possibilities of "multifocus" techniques in which only the sharp-focus zone of a specimen is illuminated, while the coupled focus is gradually changed during exposure of the film so as to scan down the specimen.
In the last few years the steadily improving technology of digital cameras has reached a level of resolution which is almost equal to that of photographic film.

Dispensing transdermal microminerals such as iron and zinc from a copper bracelet/cathode appears to activate an ancient Original Feeding System that can, in micromineral-deficient individuals, convey a powerful tonic effect.
In addition, transdermal micronutrition may be effective as a form of ion substitution to blunt the effects of environmental lead and other toxic substances, and it may have important neurological/psychological action.
Research regarding the mechanisms of transdermal microminerals may show that excessive absorption of silver from bracelets and other jewelry is a cause of the widespread, refractory anemia in India.

Micromineral pricing all depends on what the mineral is, of course.
Areas virtually barren of larger specimens can still yield good microminerals; in fact, some localities are near-famous just for microminerals.
There are some very rare microminerals which are much more expensive than average, on the order of 25 to 100 dollars a specimen.

I've been contemplating some content and coverage on microminerals and micromounting at Bob's Rock Shop, and I came across this interesting and facilitating video accessory during the '97 Tucson Show when I visited with Don Parsons, of Parsons' Minerals and Fossils, at the Executive Inn.
By the way, if your interest in microminerals and micromounting is still at the casual level or you're on a really tight budget, do not underestimate the enjoyment to be had with 'just' a good quality 10x hand loupe.
However, if your needs and applications entail video acquisition or presentation and sharing of micromineral or other microscopic subject images with an audience, here is a product that definitely merits your consideration.

At any rate, the history of ICC represents a mysterious, deeply entrenched medical disorder in South Asia that turned out to be caused by an overdose of a micromineral from the social environment, an intriguing parallel to the Silver-IDA hypothesis.
It is to be understood that lessons learned from the operation of the Micromin device in the treatment of IDA may also have relevance for other types of TDM.
Thus a Micromin bracelet containing copper and zinc can be used to dispense zinc therapy; and a bracelet can be loaded with several microminerals to be dispensed simultaneously, or a bracelet on one arm could dispense one micromineral while a second on the other arm dispenses another.

 Beneficial Effects of Silver on Burn Infection
In 1834 the German obstetrician F. Crede used a 1% silver nitrate solution as eye drops in newborns, eliminating blindness caused by post partum eye infections.
Numerous studies in the early 1900’s correlated low plasma silver levels with infections, suggesting silver to be an essential micromineral requiring replacement.
Of significant importance is that no known BACTERIAL RESISTANCE has developed to the silver ion as opposed to current antibiotics.

The focus of geologic objections to the actuality of nannobacteria and nanofossils is that features of this scale may have many possible origins, e.g.
micromineral inclusions or crystallographic edge effects (Bradley et al., 1997).
Another major objection is that the nanometer-scale objects are artifacts of conductive heavy-metal coating, but experiments have shown that the gold-coating procedures we use avoid the formation of such artifacts (Peters, 1985; Folk and Lynch, 1997).

I had been panning only since mid-1991, and had discovered that I could find many interesting and beautiful micromineral specimens for my micromounting interests by examining the fl sands under my microscope.
Later in 1992, several members of my micromineral club, Micromineralogists of the National Capital Area, said they believed them to be garnet cleavage fragments, though they were not sure.
I still suspected that they were natural garnet crystals, and to me, they did not appear to be fragments because the shape seemed to be too consistently perfect.
