Hello everyone,
I actually wanted to wiggle around the other diagonal but got this one (with Shift XY -+4%)

Good work and nice scales pics, with and without pollen

Thank you very much, Macrero!
At the moment I'm trying to visualise the scales in Rocking Sterero and 3D.
For this you need deep stacks in particular so that the effect is clearly visible.

Thank you, Adi, sure, long WD is always an advantage, regardless of subject's flatness. High-NA, short-WD objectives are fun to play with, but kinda pain in the rear to use... This is with TU Plan 100/0.80 ELWD + 105mm tube lens at 52.5X on sensor. Stack was shot with continuous lighting and traffi...

Hello Rik,
Great, but you have to have a steady hand.
So, not for grandpas / grannies with shaky hands

Hello Macrero,

Great photo!

But it is also a fantastic lens with a long WD.
Here you can clearly see how important the WD is.

Hello James,
That looks great, well done!

Hi, Very nice, could work well as a 3d model. Best, ADi If only I could figure it out. I'm unhappy with Blender's extrusion or any other method I've tried so far. Maybe someday. -JW: Hello James, so I like it. BTW, I set the parameters in Blender so that I can export a 100MB glb-file (limit of sket...

Hello everybody,
Y without pollen:

Best, ADi

I don't know much about pollen but if life has taught me anything, it's that these pollen are slightly chewy and taste of lemon and orange. :lol: Did you mean fine drops? https://ness-shop.de/lebensmittel/suessigkeiten-knabbereien/fruchtgummis-bonbons/5319/woogie-fine-drops-zitronen-orangen-geschma...

Yes, like tiny waffles! Doing a Google image search for pollen with waffle pattern produced one hit with a couple of very good matches: Hello Rik, Thank you for your research! It is therefore certain that it is pollen :-) Spontaneously I would guess: Anadenanthera colubrina. https://www.researchgat...

Hello everyone,
On the rocking stereo they resemble round cakes more than balls.

Best, ADi

Hello everyone,
Another picture with balls.
But the balls look exactly the same as in the previous pictures.
So this can't be a coincidence.
I would therefore suspect pollen of some kind.

Best, ADi

Hello Microscanning,

First of all, welcome to the forum.

If I only had the choice between the two alternatives mentioned
and wanted the higher resolution, I would choose the Mitu 5x.

If the camera has a fully electronic shutter,
the number of exposures doesn't matter.

Best, ADi

Hello everyone,
next one:
