Beautifully lit. The epi polarisation works really well on this subject. Is this through the objective co-axial epi or off axis incident epi illumination?

As an entomologist, well at least a student, incorrect bug names bug me.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
