Ohh come on I didn't make you buy it. That was your choiceI just stopped and laughed when I realized my order contained both push to connect fittings and a three-way valve.
Yup... for some reason I chose to build hybrids and combustions.mark.f wrote:You're right. Everybody has a personal choice.

With 2.5mm shaft diameter, they are 1mm thicker than the originals. They are actually so big that i have hone the hole in the strap with 2.5mm drillbit to make them fit 
Beautiful photo. Great work. Did you use Photoshop?MrCrowley wrote:I think this is the best photo(s) I've ever taken.
A focus stack of a small moth (possibly Glyphodes onychinalis) at 40x magnification under my microscope. Made up from 25 individual photos.

Thanks! I used Photoshop CS6.grumpyoldman wrote:Beautiful photo. Great work. Did you use Photoshop?

What type of camera do you use for this?
You might want to play with the settings to make the colors more clear and lively.
You can also do this using photoshop;
Looks like an awesome cameraI used my brothers Canon 600D. I shot in RAW so I could make changes to the photos like you did but I didn't change many of the colour settings at first because I wanted to see what it was like 'naturally'. After seeing how good this one turned out (my other focus stacks aren't nearly as good) and looking for ways to improve it more, I realised I had stupidly deleted the RAW files by accident so now I only have the individual .jpgs that I saved from them
Yeah I actually turned off the sub-stage LED light, used a desklight LED to shine down on the stage from above/side-on, and put a cloth over the condenser to prevent reflections from the desklight so the specimen a bit more contrast around the edges. Theoretically, the same setup should give me a poor man's dark field microscope if I can find some specimens in my backyard that are measured in micrometres instead of millimetres like the moth.Labtecpower wrote:You might find some details are more visible when the picture is slightly darker.
Good idea! Apparently, it is possible with the 600D so maybe I'll give that a go today. I wonder if I could do a combination of HDR and focus stacking... that would make for a lot of photos and I'm not sure if my computer could handle it since a focus stack of 25 RAW images uses 100% of my laptop's RAMalso, is there a HDR option on that camera?
You achieved some nice uniform lighting there!Yeah I actually turned off the sub-stage LED light, used a desklight LED to shine down on the stage from above/side-on, and put a cloth over the condenser to prevent reflections from the desklight so the specimen a bit more contrast around the edges.

I believe most of these camera's have an automatic HDR function, so that all the photos are combined directly after they have been made.Good idea!
