So anyhoo!... this is a crop of a seed pod from a palm specimen in East London, sunny SA. Here's the link to the original: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39932716@N ... 7/sizes/o/

First post in a long time, been too busy moving between countries lately; hopefully will be posting often again.

Canon 40D
Trinocular microscope x60
1/125s
Externally lit using tungsten halogen bulb and light pipes.

A series of images were focus stacked using Helicon Focus - this gives a huge depth of focus (like an SEM image) - but you have the added bonus of colour. Sharpened using Noel Carboni's Fractal Sharpening routine.

This is a tiny section of Morpho Rhetenor butterfly wing (underside).
