An amazing photo Philippe. You did a wonderful job of post prossesing it also. Some nice detail showing on the subject.

I am not familar with these particular stamens but you have captured a great deal of detail within them it seems. They remind me of the sporangia of certain slime moulds but then again what doesn't.

Folks around here can pretty much tell you I have Slime M ulds on the brain

Great image and processing work there Philippe

A surprising amount of structural detail in the filament Philippe

. I should hasten to add that my surprise is not based on any expert knowledge just a (clearly wrong) lay assumption that anthers are complex and filaments quite smooth

Your pics have convinced me to go take a look at Fovea Pro.
