Compound Eye 10X+ View

Not only is this an extremely magnified view of a hornet's compound eye, I believe that it is quite artistic as well.
I didn't realize how gradient the colors would be until it completed processing the 145 images of it in Zerene Stacker.
This image was taken with a 10X Infinity corrected microscope objective pushed to a higher magnification level with a helicoid extension tube.

Cool! Don't know why the lighting did that, but one is glad it did.

Mark, this is my queen European Hornet that I keep in a container of denatured alcohol and she was wet when I set her up (it's raining here today so I need something to do).
I can only guess that the reflected colors are a product of the LED lights, diffusion I used and the separation of the light waves passing through the alcohol on the eye creating a prism-like effect.

Called refraction, I believe. Arcipluvian. A word long out of use.
I foresee you with a digital microscope before long.
This is what I would see when I used certain lights with my binocular scope. Used filters with lighting for enhancement of detail.
Been a while. Later, Gary.
