progress, unknown bug

Post by gremlin »

After a lot of reading I have made some progress. This crawled out of some bought flowers one evening, maybe a parasitic wasp?
Fuji XT-10 with an old Olympus 4x objective bought for £10 on ebay
The images are made up of 40 & 80 stacks put together in Photoshop, 4 LED lights. The camera is mounted on an old Vickers microscope base bought for £25 and adapted to M42 fitting.
I see the reflections in the first one and corrected by painting the insides of the extension tubes matt black.
I'm very pleased so far and would be interested in alternative microscope objectives to improve on these.
Happy to here what people think of my images or ways to improve.
thanks for looking
David

Very good first attempt, maybe a little more space around the subject would be a good idea?
