This is a 10X magnified focus stacked view of my preserved Black Carpenter Ant's mandibles. I staged it for a session while I had the microscope objective and bellows system connected to the camera from the recent leaf and seed sessions that I posted.
This is a 298 image stack taken at 5-micron distance steps between shots. The completed stack of images were then processed in Zerene Stacker. The dark grey background is a result of some of the lighting reflecting due to the close proximity of the subject, lighting and objective before the lighting could fall off to infinity which is how black backgrounds are created.
As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.
