Here's my first good image using my new stacking rig. It's also my first attempt at retouching using Zerene.
It's a burr from my Dremel kit. The head is quite small.
I guess that it shows that I can at least get decent images from the 10x Amscope finite objective when properly set up:

Thanks. I needed something quick to test the rig that wasn't so shiny that it turned into an exercise in intensive diffusion mechanics.nanometer wrote:Great idea. Amazing all the stuff around us that would make great macro images.
I'm about to buy an aspirator kit from Bioquip so that I can start getting some invertebrate subjects.

Thanks. The Amscope 10x finite isn't too bad for the money.apt403 wrote:Nice result! Saw this on the granite surface plate thread, thanks for posting! There aren't very many example images of Amscope finites besides the famous 4x. What was your lighting setup for this shot?
I used a 300w equivalent CFL in a DIY reflector diffused through a styrofoam cup. I don't have the EXIF data here at work, but I think it was around 1/4 second.
