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 everybody,

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.

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.

Hello Microscanning,

First of all, welcome to the forum.

If I only had the choice between the two alternatives mentioned

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

Hello everyone,
