Northamptonshire Natural History Society – MICROSCOPY

August 20, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

When: Tue, 20 August, 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Description:
FORAMINIFERA OF BRITISH BEACHES by Ian Wilson. I read an old (1882 I think) journal of the PMS recently and there was an article about separating forams from sand by flotation. It’s really easy, messy enough to be fun and produces a concentrated sample of forams which I thought was pretty impressive and can be viewed with stereo and compound microscopes. I hope to have a seaside holiday between now and then too so can collect and dry a bucketful of sand – enough for everyone.
