Daphnia heart
Here are two images of the heart of a daphnia (water flea). The "pumpkin" like muscle pattern (seen here on the lower half) is also on the top half as well, but it can't be seen due to the limited DOF. This was beating rather rapidly (motion "frozen" by electronic flash) so there was no real good wa...

Pacific Dampwood Termite, wing detail abstract, DIC
I posted a head shot of this termite about a week ago. I wanted to look at the wings through the microscope, and when I did they were actually pretty drab. So I cranked in the DIC color and things got more interesting. These pronounced veins at the leading edge of the wing are used to help identify ...

David... you can get a "stronger" eyepiece. That will magnify the image formed by the objective, making things appear larger. It will not, however provide any more resolution. The amount of detail that is resolved is determined solely by the objective, and specifically its numerical aperture. Now, e...

Small skipper butterfly "head shot"
This is a pretty small skipper. Couldn't get the antenna the way I wanted but I decided to go with it anyway.

The chart on the page DaveW referenced shows the good ones. You would probably want to use them with the 70-300. I would go with the more modest "strength", either the Nikon 5T or the Canon 500D. The stronger 6T and 250D will get you closer, but image quality on a 70-300 could get "iffy", especially...

Honey bee face
Surprisingly hairy little critters when you look really close!

Chironomid (non-biting) midge
About the size of a mosquito (just a tad bigger) this chironomid midge has amazing antennae, and a wonderful "wrap around" eye.

Wim... sort of funny to imagine us about 6000 miles apart working with the same critter in the same manner. Making this type of image with "macro" equipment rather than on the microscope does give more freedom to experiment with lighting and backgrounds. Digital cameras and the stacking software fin...
