I keep trying,and leaves make good practice subjects!

This is a fern leaf from a plant that turned up with my palm! (A spore must have blown in)

And this is a dried maple leaf I found, either the wind blew it in or 2 year old Katie did!

I have been thinking. I always save the pic withthe black border, so you get a circular image indide a back frame,. as thats how my phone captures the images.
Now if I were to zoom in and cut out all the black(vignetting) I would increase the magnification, yet others post pics with no black around them and still keep the real magnification values!

If i had a proper camera would I get the full image and the original magnification?

These came out rather nice Cyclops, the green one looks like a jigsaw puzzle

Yea it does look like a jigsaw! how i got a flat image was to sandwich the leaf between two slides-this did squash the leaf a little and touching the slides to move it around i could see sap moving. But it got me a nice flat image!
