About
Long-session hobbyist focused on posture, lighting, and organization so curiosity can last. I synthesize ergonomic best practices for home microscopes.
Core Beliefs
Comfort is a prerequisite for sustained focus and better results.
Background
I once timed a session photographing pond algae: two hours felt like twenty minutes after I raised the scope, softened glare, and added a wrist rest. The images improved because I wasn't rushing or squinting. That afternoon reframed ergonomics for me - comfort isn't indulgence; it's throughput and joy.
Perspective
I prefer durable, ergonomic accessories over flashy specs.
