Morpho Achilles Lima Scales

Post by Macro_Cosmos »

Nice "blue" scales. It's like a cloak.
They are blue due to interference light.

Here's lighting from another direction:

Funny enough, my older 20x stacks had same centre performance but 2 of the 4 corners are considerably better. I'm using the Edmund Optics 20x now, corners aren't as good as the mit.

I also didn't crop back then. I believe my ITL200 was mounted in retro for those. I definitely should do a side-by-side test. The ITL200 in normal orientation isn't as good as my current tube lens for sure.
