Hi
I hope Nikonuser agrees with me that the antennae also point to Drosophila, then I can remove the question mark in the heading.
The body length of the small fly is 4mm.

Stacking Software / Method: Zerene Stacker / PMax

At each single eye (ommatidium) there is a short black hair.
On the left side of the image you can see well the reflection of the hairs in the single eyes, a little chaos.

Re: Drosophila ?
Looks OK for Drosophila; antenna described as: arista plumose with dorsal and ventral rays, usually more than 2 ventrally.

Re: Drosophila
I agree; excellent images, well presented.
I have a question: I am familiar with bleed in printing, but apparently missed the class on "bleed amount". What is it in this context, and why is it important?
Thanks for your indulgence!

Re: Drosophila
Hi Leonard
Sorry, it is an automatic, wrong translation.
The German " Beschnittsbetrag ", is automatically and incorrectly translated as bleed amount or trim amount.
It ist the Image crop.
I'll correct it.
It is interesting for the evaluation and comparison of image quality.
Glad you like the pictures, thanks.
