Sunset Moth

[Smokedaddy]

After seeing all the wonderful Sunset Moth images here I thought I'd give it a try. So this is my first attempt. These were shot with my Nikon MM-11 with a Nikon toolmakers measurescope lens (or objective, not sure of the proper nomenclature) using their 10x and 3x. I haven't a clue what the DOF is with these lenses so if anyone knows please chime in.

Below is the 3x lens ...

Hard to believe it took you so long to play arouond with this moth.

The 10X has a NA of 0.20. The DOF is around 10-12 microns.

The 3X has an NA of 0.09. The DOF is around 60 microns.

Thanks Charles. I agree. I have way to many irons in the fire.

Very nice! These moth scales are a lot of fun to image, and produce rewarding outcomes.
