This is how it looks, just a fast sketch. It is is connected to the lens. The reflecting surface inside lights up the shadows. With this you need one flash on the camera.

About the flash. I have been experimenting recently and I made a simple device that looks like what they put on dogs if they schould not scratch themselves. You can make it from paper or plastic. On the inside you can even put some reflecting material aluminium foil, or silver tape to light the high...

blue dot ground beeetle
http://www.photomacrography1.net/images/97_3730sm.jpg Tiger beetles and ground beetles are probably my favourite insects. They are fierce predators and in real close up they have beautiful colours! This is probably a Carabus speciees. but I have never seen it before and I can't find it in books. Do...

beautiful image! Sorry to hear that, Tom. I had a bit similar experience when my mother died. The study of nature, observing the beauty of it can give some solitude. Or in any case gives you some time to contemplate. For me especially drawing microbes was almosty like a meditative experience. Keep u...

Jumping spider
Ken, don't tell me this one also gives you the creeps! Isn't she cute? It is a Marpissa muscosa. Lives on tree bark. has a good camouflage for that.

Paramecium bursaria conjugating
It is not the most original subject. But Paramecium bursaria, with its symbiotic algae inside is a nice subject. I noticed two of them conjugating. When you focus on the interior you can see many interesting details. Perhaps I am making this up but it is as if you can see the nucleï with the chromos...

Hi Ken, Interesting subject! Nice picture! The technique is interesting but we can't do without these great subjects! Have you tried to photograph the underside? You can see the clicking mechanism. I hope you don't mind the following shameless selfpromotion: :D http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/ar...
