Amphipod seen through the lowest cost inverted microscope made.
An oblique Rheinberg illumination technique makes it look like you are in there swimming with the amphipod. Microscope is a $65 IQCREW inverted microscope.

What could cause image warping/stretching such as this? (SEM)
Yesterday the SEM was shut down, and today after turning it back on the images are "stretched" diagonally from bottom-left to top-right. The images are of a TEM grid. The grid itself is a near-perfect circle and the spaces between the grid are near-perfect squares, but due to the warping they're appearing diamond-shaped.
It doesn't seem to be an issue with the beam alignment or astigmatism settings. It's able to focus just fine and the "stretching" isn't affected by under/over focusing, which is why I don't think it's stigma. I messed with the stigma as well and didn't notice any changes in the warping.
