Digging up that old thread of mine on butterfly proboscis http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 9562#89562 jogged my memory that I had some more butterfly tongue pictures somewhere. A bit of research on a poorly indexed and overfull archive drive turned up the stacks I was looking for. These images are of the tip of a Pieris (cabbage white) butterfly proboscis and show pollen grains firmly sticking on. They are a stitch of two Zerene Pmax stacks, each of 38 images taken using a Lomo X20, 0.65 Apochromat objective, with a Nikon X40 DIC prism on a Nikon Diaphot. Camera, Canon EOS 40D, magnification at the camera X50.
I made a stereo pair of the same subject from a single 39 image PMax stack, using a Nikon X10, 0.25 plan DIC objective. There are lots of unfixed transparency issues, but I think it still looks interesting
I also restacked this image from my old thread
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/u ... rey2_1.jpg and converted it to a Zerene stereo pair and post it here rather than posting new images in a very old thread.
I just love the sheer baroqueness of this structure!
