Moth Antenna 10X View
Aug 28, 2021 20:50:01 #
I mounted the 10X infinity microscope objective with the Raynox DCR150 as the tube lens on the bellows and extension tube and staged a focus stacking session of the antenna of a local white moth with black and white striping scales. The session is a 284 image stack taken at 6-micron increment steps for each shot with the stack of images processed in Zerene Stacker.

Very cool, Sippy.
Thanks, Jblazar. A bit different view of the pattern of the antenna and wispy long scales that caught my eye.

Wow.
Thanks, Brenda. I am fascinated (well fixated) on seeing new details in what I come across and the antenna on this tiny white moth is near impossible to see unless viewed under magnification. The hint of "dashes" which I thought were segments were actually bands of black and dark brown scales evenly spaced between white sections of scales. The neck scales are quite 'hair like' and wispy which I would not know otherwise.

You are so industrious, sippy. Great job.
Kpmac, I'm like a shark where it is said that they have to keep moving or they will sink to the bottom so if I stop being behind the camera I too may sink.

Exceptionally sharp! I suspect the reception is pretty good - how many channels?

Thanks, Raymondh. Certain types of moth have an olfactory sensitivity that verges on the supernatural. They can detect a single molecule of the female sex hormone with their antenna from miles away..!
