Mervyn, I am starting to appreciate why you need a camera adapter. By the time I get the shot in focus, fumble around holding the camera to the eyepiece, and put on my reading glasses so I can see the camera viewfinder, the fish has moved. Then, it all starts over again.
This guy is about 93 to 100 hours. There is a pupil forming in the eye, but you cannot see it in the photo. The intestine and stomach is much more advanced and you can see the beginnings of a swim bladder (the transparent egg-shaped thing in the center). There are functional pectoral fins and some differentiation of the tail fin. They have a bit of a yellowish cast on the dorsal surface today although it is obscured by the yellow cast from the scope lighting. Some mouth parts are forming but I am anxious to see them "chomping" the mouth open and closed. That is my signal to boost up the plankton levels. The yolk sac is smaller today, but it appears it will last another 24-36 hours.
