Thanks Dave, I´ll try to do it better

Welcome, that's a really nice pollen, looks like a certain human malware that's still roaming.
Excellent details! Looks like a piece of crystal.

(Minor correction: It's Dmap, not Dmax)

Thanks for your appreciation. In fact, it is a personal Dmap/Pmax to prevent noise accumulation ,overlapping, haze and fuzzy images

Nice image!

I assume you mean something like "DMap, retouched from PMax". In the forum that's usually described as "DMap+PMax", or even more commonly just use all four words. The names of the two methods are so commonly mixed up in various ways that "Dmax" looks more like a mistake than a shorthand.

(BTW, I'm the fellow who wrote Zerene Stacker. I've often had occasion to regret choosing names that sound so much alike. "Bob" and "Fred" would have been better. Helicon calls their similar methods "B" and "C", which don't mean anything beyond order of introduction, but they're very distinctive.)

Hi Rik

Yes, it was a mistake. Because I knew the process I assume my mind directed my fingers. It is a whole Dmap from top view to bottom and some partials Dmap of 50 pics all stacked with Pmax. After that retouched layer by layer to retrieve information or improve it. Nothing special I think, I'm sure many people do the same procedure or a variation oh this when there is a lot of pics to stack. Thanks Rik

very nice.. excellent work!

Thanks Bob. Some days ago I was thinking about SEM for pollen study. Well I think I would gain in detail, resolution and 3D vision , but the beauty and color of those almost crystalline spicules would be lost
