This is a marine Copepod. (I dont know the genus and the species).
First picture: Obj. 10x, DIC, stack with 10 pics
Second picture: Obj. 20x, DIC, stack with 4 pics.

Franz: yes your DIC images are always excellent.
How do you get such a nice neutral background? When I try to get this type of detail on my Olympus DIC I have to slide the analyser such that the overall colour takes on a strong colour, anywhere from a red, yellow, green, blue.
A grey background usually shows little detail in such an image.
Thanks for the info. on diaphragms and refs. (on Mitch's post).

Thank you Mitch and NikonUser!
for NikonUser:
2. The light for the exposure is coming from a flash, which is not automatic (not TTL). So I have to correct the light with neutral-filters. If the exposure is correct I have generally - not always - a grey background.
3. If the background is not a neutral grey I correct it when I make the conversion from the RAW-file to a JPG-file.
I do this with the Program from Pentax "Pentax Photo Laboratory". (I suppose you have something similar from Nikon).
Conclusion: To work with RAW-files for me is a necessary, big help (althoug I lose a lot of time).
Franz
Post Scriptum: I like very much your pictures!
