Fruit Fly

-

this is an amazing shot. please would you explain how you took it. it is so close but everything is in perfect focus. some extreme macro work here. it almost looks fake.

Incredible, fascinating and beautiful all at the same time. One of the best photomicrography shots I've seen on the site - congrats - I'm off to view the rest of your folders! Amazing.....

Is this heavily cropped? That's not a criticism, I'm just curious if there's a zoom lens that actually gets this small. And what F stop are you using? Thanks!

Did'nt have to crop it. It's the high numarical aperatures and apochromatic corrections that give you the results. Staging and LED diffused lighting also played a role.

Thanks for the comments. Not sure how this kind of photography will be recieved. I had fun doing it anyway.

 

Very nice work. Which lens?
