Combine ZM, Photoshop
My original image was so much sharper with combine ZM than with my previous software that I brought back an earlier post. I also add some subsequent images, showing the peal back of the sorus skin to expose the spore pods if that’s what they are called. I acknowledge some exposure faults with the bottom image but it shows nicely the pod exposure process. I do intend on soon improving my EPI illumination apparatus.
