Reviving this thread.

I did a video review of this flash recently for my website.

Note that the video is around 37mins.

Thanks Rik.

Given that it will be my first foray into the microscope objective world, going slow on the budget looks logical.

Thanks Adalbert. This is a good suggestion and I am looking into it.

So these look like infinity objectives and can go on my 55-250mm as tube giving me the advantage to adjust my magnification.

Ofcourse its a readin...

As in put two circular polarizers and adjust them to see the effects?

Thanks Raza Shaikh.

This is excellent Yawns.

The image speaks for the efforts taken.

So during your real time tests, you then decide how many lights do you really need scenario?

Thanks Mike and Yawns.

It was a little tricky to get proper details on that rim and to control reflections.

Thanks Jon. Yes I am based in India. Being in the tropics, there is a lot of variety. However insect trading/capturing in wild is banned by the wildlife department. Further the insect collectors are majorly linked to colleges and universities. So to get to them,to access the specimens is kind of dif...

Sorry for keeping this thread dead.

There are more photos to share. Will do over the weekend.

Wow!

Looks like a superhero suit. Something like the Flash!

Great styling Can!

giving the wemacro some rest?
