There's something of a parallel with stitched images. We all know it works to give hi res images not just panoramas, and it's fun. How often do we use it?

Definitely will admit to having Gear Acquisition Syndrome :mrgreen: I understand what you're saying though - a high MP sensor will not necessarily make my images any better if I don't have good technique and lighting, and requires better optics and more storage / computing power. I decided to incre...

You all said to go for more pixels - With respect, you have misread. If want to multiply your budget by 3 or many more, and spend a while getting everything else right, then perhaps spend more time peeping at pixels rather than producing useful images - the answer is yes.

WHen I tried that the light may have got into the edge of the glass, but whatever, it was a mess. I only had square coverslips. I've seen small round ones which would be better. But i...
