Found this bad guy on my neon goby - so just before I killed it I took some photos (they kill fish so I had to kill it).

For comparison how different an organism looks like under transmitted light as opposed to reflected light, the below two pictures were taken with a Canon 1DX + MP-E 65 + 600RT Flash at 3.5:1 and 5:1 magnifications:

Waldo great images.

I Think the third image (tail in polarized light) deserves a 10x trial.

Waldo,

All beautiful images! Great (but troublesome !) subject.
