Under the microscope

[Guest]

Hello all this is my first post so I hope its interesting to some
These pics were taken at 100x magnification and show micro gold with gem material in sulphides after roasting the fine heavys recovered in a clean up sluice from quartz crushing
As a beginner I feel successful to capture these images and one day may have something more substantial to show for my efforts

They are great photos Shineon :Y:

But don't you dare flash them around too much, or the "it all adds up" brigade will be lobbying Minelab to make their next release find it. layful:

Beautiful photos and it just shows what we throw out of the pan and think no more about it

How about a standard picture not through loop ?

It would be interesting to see how static would react with this tiny gold.

Did see a guy using flat plastic at the top of his sluice . He reckoned that the static electricity collected the very find gold and he had to scrape it off the plastic . He got the plastic from a mushroom farm . I have thought about it and it might be worth some trials .

Some plastics have more static , more trials ....

To the naked eye it looked like fine black sands and took about 50 pics to get these four images through a Carson 200x and surprised me too
Classified material was 16 minus and recovered heavys approximately 50 minus
Have since observed micro gold on FeS2 and other sulphides are spectacular
Im intrigued to identify various corundum species in miniature and believe I have captured diamond also but dont sneeze please

Another pic this time of flour/mustard gold liberated from quartz as before but viewed through a different lens
