A close-up of this dipteorus insect of two big eyes, which in some species has iridescent red or green spots or stripes. In the case of males, the eyes are together while in females they are separated. The chest and abdomen often have a pattern of markings. The wings are relatively long, keeping them at rest on the body slightly open "like open scissors". They are powerful flyers, and their sting is quite painful for humans, I know from my own experience.
These are two approaches to this insect
Both with Canon EOS 6D camera and MJKZZ Xtreme Pro rail + IR Remote Motion Controller
The first with the Mitutoyo M Plan APO 5x 0.14 + Raynox 250 at a magnification of approximately 4x

The second a greater detail with the Mitutoyo M Plan APO 50x 0.55 + Raynox 250, in an approximate magnification of 35x

Wow, these are beautifully done!
Re: Tabanidae
Hi
Very nice and well stacked images, a pleasure.
The difference of Mitutoyo M Plan APO 5/0.15 and Mitutoyo M Plan APO 50x 0.55 is not well seen in the forum image.
But when you look closely, you can see a clear difference even in the small low resolution images shown here!
Mitutoyo M Plan APO 5/0.15
Next Mitutoyo M Plan APO 50x 0.55
In general, you should only magnify as much as absolutely necessary.
For images on the Internet, a high aperture is not necessarily needed.

Re: Tabanidae
That is just gorgeous work that respects the sacrifice of the subject.
Re: Tabanidae
Yes, very nice work. I like the way you edit your images, my photoshop workflow is a mess
Your new mitu 50 performs really well..I hope I can find such a good copy one day..

Re: Tabanidae
Thank you very much for your kind comments. Interesting that comparison in my photos between the Mitu 5x and 50x that Guppy made. The resolving power is obviously not the same. But I am happy with my new acquisition (Mitu 50x)
Greetings!
