Quite amazing!

Amazing stuff as always, Igor. I'm working hard to catch up with you, but it's awfully difficult to hit a target that moves so fast!
Rik and Chris, oftentimes, folks will report the combined magnification of the objective and the eyepieces together so this may have been taken through a 10x objective, and Zeiss does have some impressive stitching software. The zoom on these scopes does allow you to zoom out a bit. Personally, I find including magnification be be confusing, since I'm never sure what someone is reporting; much better to include a scale bar.

I have seen information outside the forum clarifying that this image was shot with a 10X/0.45 objective, no stitching necessary.jswatts wrote:...so this may have been taken through a 10x objective, and Zeiss does have some impressive stitching software.
Agreed. This topic has been discussed numerous times here at photomacrography.net . If a scale bar cannot be included in the image (say for esthetic reasons), then specifying the field width is also unambiguous. I have also seen some commercially offered images specified like "100X when printed 10 inches wide". That method is unambiguous too, and may be more intuitive especially for people new to the field.Personally, I find including magnification be be confusing, since I'm never sure what someone is reporting; much better to include a scale bar.
