A Method of Adapting a Microscope for Observation of Non-Motile Insects on Tree Trunks1,2

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

Field studies on adelgids and other small non-motile insects living on the bark of trees are often hampered by insufficient magnification and poor light when a hand lens is used. We have tested various commercial illuminated magnifiers but have found that they are either of too low magnification or have too shallow a depth of field.
