Hello and thanks for your answers.
The picture was made with a Nikon MM60 Measurescope, a little bit taylored for my purpose. Placed on the floor for safety, the thing is a beast at roughly 80 kg that would most likely break my table.
Sorry for the stage and other mess, the whole scope is still a building site.
The diatom is lying loosely on a slide, that is tilted with a ball head specimen stage.
Of course this is a 10x Mitty, not the 50x. one single Jansjö through a paper diffusor, that's it.
I'll try to make a stereo, but it takes considerably more time to do than a single view, so I have to try to find some time for it.
Best regards,
Michael

Like I said beautiful image and thanks for taking the time to post the additional images of the actual setup you used.

Looking at your main image -- which is very nice! -- I'm suspecting that you spent quite a bit of time in tuning parameters and/or manual retouching.I'll try to make a stereo, but it takes considerably more time to do than a single view, so I have to try to find some time for it.
The image is great, but as you say, doing a similar version in stereo could take a lot longer.
On the other hand, one way to save a lot of time with stereo is to just skip retouching altogether -- just run PMax and accept that there will be a lot of artifacts. Often artifacts from PMax, even if easily visible, will not interfere with understanding the 3-D shape. Then the combination of the single clean image and the stereo-with-artifacts image gives, well, certainly not the best of both worlds, but enough good to be very helpful.

Thanks for your replies!
@James: I had a glimpse at your Measurescope before you edited the post, really a nice beast! No need to delete the image, at least I didn't mind .
Best regards,
Michael

True, and considering that I will need to scale the stereo down to match de forum's rules, I think a straight PMax with little retouching will work fine. I already processed a stereo pair inside Zerene, and it looked quite convincing. I hope I'll finish it today.rjlittlefield wrote:just run PMax and accept that there will be a lot of artifacts.
