This is a small ichneumon wasp and I decided to go with really "tight", almost abstract image to show off the nice emerald colored eye.
Olympus BHA, Nikon M Plan 40/0.40 SLWD, Canon 50D.

Woa that is the kind of detail I want to get on macro subjects. Have you used this setup: http://www.krebsmicro.com/microsetup2/index.html ?

Thanks for the kind comments.
This was taken with a Nikon 40/0.40 SLWD objective. The image was projected directly onto the camera sensor of the Canon 50D. Normally I will use this optic on a camera bellows, but I had wanted to try and see how the "live view, silent mode" (with the electronic first shutter curtain) would do mounted directly to a microscope. In this case the microscope was an Olympus BHA (not pictured on my site), but the viewing head was removed and the camera mounted in it's place, with about 210mm between the objective and the camera sensor. So, in essence, the microscope simply functioned as an "extension tube" (no other optics involved) with a really nice "stage" attached for obtaining the "z" stack.
