Ugh. The Schefflera profile is not going well. I suspect the problem is that I'm trying too hard to work in all the information I found, much of which doesn't actually interest me. Sometimes I have to start the profiles several times before I get any kind of flow going; this may be one of those times. *sigh* (UPDATE: Done!)
As for this post, we have more dead leaves than usual. Some months ago, I went through all the transmitted light photos and rearranged them, rather than wind up with four oak pictures in the same set, so this batch includes some autumn leaves from last fall.
(The previous transmitted light posts can be found here.)
Platanus occidentalis (sycamore), autumn. This one is much better full size.
Aglaonema 'Diamond Bay.'
Kalanchoe marmorata.
Magnolia sp., autumn. Not sure what it is, but something about this one really appeals to me. Something about the way the veins are curvy. Might be my favorite from the set, though.
Helleborus 'Painted Strain.' Striking, but almost a little too much.
Eucharis x grandiflora, dead leaf.
Quercus sp., autumn.
Dieffenbachia 'Camouflage.'

Alocasia amazonica 'Polly.' I don't think any of the pictures of 'Polly' turned out very well, but it's still striking.

I love my alocasia - it gets lots of compliments from visitors! I have had a couple instances of spider mite issues, but they somehow just went away on their own. If I keep potting it up will it get bigger and bigger?
I couldn't say. I mean, probably -- plants do have a tendency to get bigger -- but I haven't tried to grow one in the house, and the ones at work tended to get mites and burn up, so I don't know.
