Hi
Thanks for the comments!
I have no clue to why there is such differences between the quality of the amber enclosed insects.
This one looks like there is a thin layer of gas/air covering the entire insect body. The other side of the subject is different and very milky.
When I have been in an amber shop my self - this one I bought on the internet - I have tried to choose specimens that are clear and where the insect is as close to the
surface as possible.
Even when the polishing is well done - as in this case - there tend to bee some surface imperfections that can be handeled by submerging the amber in glycerol
or microscope oil. In this case I did not do this becasue it looks like one of the legs has penetrated the surface.
Here is a cropped picture showing the red eye part at 100%

Forgot to thank Rik and Charles for the information - in this thread; www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29110 that made me realise that a shorter tube length than nominal would help me to make an OK picture of the pollen grain with a NA 0.50 lens.
