recommends to get the PCR Covid test in a week after the 2nd shot and it should show positive. I suspect some scrambling in the communication. Everything I read says that Moderna is an mRNA vaccine. It stimulates antibody production so it will likely produce a positive antibody test, just like a pr...

Sounds interesting!

I'm glad to see that this will be available later as a recording, for those of us who are in radically different time zones.

Rashkh, welcome to photomacrography.net. I'm the fellow who wrote Zerene Stacker, and I answer all the support requests that come in by email. Here is what I recently wrote to another fellow: >Any comments on the Apple M1 for this sort of work? Is it much faster? It's a great chip, but important to ...

Here is an article on the topic by Jim Kasson. https://blog.kasson.com/the-last-word/does-pixel-shift-increase-resolution/ Unfortunately the body of that article has one significant flaw, and the subsequent discussion in comments is beyond my patience to try untangling. As I read it, the analysis s...

Rik, now that you mention it. I have the impression that Google lost track of a lot of the information on this site a while ago, maybe when the forum software was updated? There's been several times that I've tried to search for things that I know exists on this forum, but failed to find them using...

Is there any abbreviation table or rules for describing the shooting technique? How can I correctly describe my photo in the gallery? There is no table. The main "rule" is only to try communicating accurately, completely, and concisely. Of course those three things conflict with each other, so some...

Very nicely found, photographed, and explained -- thanks!

Thank you for the new images. Yes, I agree it is the same effect -- alignment being messed up by changing pattern of illumination. Have you ever encountered such instability in lighting? Yes, it is a common problem. One of the examples in my "How To Use DMap" tutorial is a small moth, shot with Spee...

Thank you for the sample images. In the Google Drive folder, I see files named 2A0A8279.tif through 2A0A8283.tif, which I will call 279 through 283. I wonder if these are the frames you intended to upload, because they do not show any of the eye in focus. However, they do have sharp detail in some o...

have yet to think of a simple way to find the nodal point The "nodal point" that you're talking about is actually the center of the entrance pupil, the so-called "no-parallax point" for panorama stitching. This is also the viewpoint = center of projection for normal perspective. The best way I know...

I checked the source images are fine, no distortion on the eyes. Thank you for the kind words. I am not on social media very much, so it's good to hear that I am well thought of. Now, about your stack... Because the source images are fine, and the pattern looks like it could be on a depth contour, ...

or is this a thing? Can someone point me at a doc or discussion? It's definitely a thing. See discussion at https://zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker/docs/troubleshooting/ringversusrail . The key point is that focusing by moving only the camera guarantees that there is no change of viewpoint (center of...

For Zerene Stacker, a good place to start is with documentation on the main Tutorials index page, at https://zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker/docs/tutorials/tutorialsindex . I always recommend to study at least the first 7 bullet points, down to and including "Tips for Retouching", including the two vi...

If you want I can send you some seeds, if you give me your postal address. PM sent. Could it be very diffuse light allowing the interference to show through a thin top layer? I get the same thing with black beetles. If you diffuse the light enough (a lot - beyond ridiculous) then sub-surface patter...

The equations help a lot in understanding this - I was reading about nyquist sampling last night but didn't know where to go from there I should have linked to my source: https://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=124831#124831 . But of course there is more background. The formulas that...
