NanoScope

The NanoScope allows the hobbyist to venture into this hidden world and observe tiny marine creatures and natural feeding behaviours of corals. This can give better understanding of long term coral care and how micro fauna can influence the over all health of our systems.

Within the last few years hobbyists have also been made aware of various coral pests that can plague a reef tank and quickly decimate coral stocks. These tiny creatures are often no more than the size of a pin head and are easily missed resulting in misdiagnosis and the hobbyist blaming the losses on their own husbandry.

When armed with the D-D Nanoscope hobbyists can identify coral predators such as:

SPS Red bugs
Montipora eating Nudibranch
Zoanthid Spiders
Clam eating Pyramid snails
Zoanthid eating Sundial snails
Soft coral eating Nudibranch
SPS eating Flatworms

...and many more.

The NanoScope can also be used to diagnose early symptoms of disease in corals that can initiate Necrotic loss of tissue.

With careful use images and video can also be taken through the NanoScope using a mobile phone capable of auto focus. The images can be invaluable for online diagnosis or identification of unknown creatures.

The images in the slide show on this page and the you tube video were all taken by carefully holding a mobile phone to the NanoScopes eye piece whilst the NanoScope was mounted to the glass via the included flexible mount.
