Lovely, and technically excellent! :D

The oblique lighting works very nicely here to show some of the 3D structure.

Oliver,
Real nice shot! I was just discussing oblique illumination with the dealer who sold me my current stand. Both of us find it hard to understand why oblique is used so infrequently. It is such an easy, slight variation from regular bright-field, and yet the images look so much better to me. Well done.

Congratulations Oliver on a job well done. I don't believe I have seen one of these before but I have seen my share of Waterbears. Nice job indeed and again Congratulations! :o
