Mites!

hope here's the right column to post this stuff. morphology study on white mites that i cultured few days back. sources from my ts and scorpion enclosures' substrate. this is how the mites look like. 10x microscopic view. just sharing.

Nice pic of something so tiny!

Is this a predatory or detritivorous species??

While viewing this nice pic, I feel like a predator viewing my prey item via a "temperature X-ray" device.

Mind sharing what equipment was used to achieve the pic?

Olympus microscope, the pic is under 10x lens enlargement.
i'm using methyl red staining, got another that using iodine staining, but this one more clear with background staining rather than iodine that used to check out the morphology of the mites.

thanks Callum B, sowhon, GS, DolbyR,,
