I'm studying for my Master's degree at North Carolina State. My current project involves morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies of horse flies, especially the tribe Diachlorini. I am interested in all flies. I've done research in the past on Chironomidae, Asilidae, and Richardiidae.
If anyone has experience with a Nikon Coolpix 4500 directly mounted onto a microscope, I'd like to hear about your methods for taking good pictures.

I am interested in getting/borrowing/trading for specimens of Tabanidae preserved in ethanol or frozen, particularly the smaller North American genera, e.g. Anacimas, Agkistrocerus, Merycomyia, Microtabanus, Whitneyomyia, and others, and odd species of the more diverse genera such as Chrysops hyalinus, Silvius philipi, Tabanus cymatophorus, Tabanus daedalus, Tabanus fratellus, Tabanus venustus, etc.
