Our first microscopy expedition occurred in August of 2015 with only three team members, New York City based BioArtist Darya Warner, Miami based gallery owner Sebastiano Varoli, and Cape Cod based Biologist Joe DeGiorgis. Organisms were collected with snorkeling gear on both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides of the island. The above image is a close up of a flame scallop. The image was taking with a Stereo microscope at a 5X magnification. The scallop was returned to its home in sweetings pond after the photoshoot was completed.
