Dear all,

I've seen a book recently about seeds, made with an electron scanning microscope. I thought this would be a great idea for a focus stacking sunday afternoon.

I found some seeds in my garden, this is the result. I hope you like it.

Pseudofumaria lutea

Hyoscyamus nige

Papaver somniferum

I'm thinking the same. As winter approaches for many of us, these compliant subjects may get further examination!

Great photo's, interesting subjects.
A welcome change from the usual insects.
I like the structure of last one.
Any info on the lighting and mounting/staging techniques you used to make these?

Thank you all for your kind words. I was bored with them insects too

The setup was the same as in this topic

Using my magic box, two flashes from behind and one in front. A small white plastic box was used as a diffuser.
