Thank you. One of my favorite groups of animals for 60+ years, especially since they are linked to the Tardigrades, another of my favorites.

This is a nice subject. I think you could get some really interesting images with some backlighting coming through.

The UV brings out all sorts of detail not seen in visible light. This is the external view of a chela.

This is just a guess, but would changing how you have your Auto Image Rotation set help?
Thanks. That took care of it. As the other poster suggested, this only happened when pointing straight down for macrophotgraphy

they may be right, i have the same problem with a D7100 and a D800 when the lens is pointed straight down at the ground.
Good point:I should have included that as well.

I am controlling my D7200 from a laptop using Helicon remote. Sometimes the image orientation switches back and forth between Portrait and Landscape almost continuously. Helicon have suggested that the problem is in the Orientation Sensor of the camera. If so, does anyone know how to fix this?
many thanks
many thanks

Probably no more than 4-6 inches. Most of my work will be with scorpions.

I am interested in using a copy stand for my work. Ideally it would be very sturdy, and allow the camera to move horizontally as well as vertically. Prices seems to be all over the place, but I cannot see paying $3000 no matter how good. Do any forum members have suggestions for a make/model that has served them well?
many thanks
many thanks

NE Connecticut. This is a nice digital capture. Where photographed?
I have a studio set-up. The camera is on a copy stand, the spider is sitting in an acrylic box and illuminated with LEDs from above and below. The spider was liberated after shooting.

Amazingly it stayed put long enough to get a 9 slice focus stack.
This is the first one I have seen, though apparently they are not uncommon in New england.

"holders less powerful than alligator clips." What do you want to hold, dried Insects? The soldering rig works well for small cut flowers.
Close! Scorpions. The alligator is too strong and crushes them.

I am looking for a holder than can position small objects (1-2 inches) and rotate in all three dimensions. The 'Helping Hands' devices for soldering come close but I would really like something with a smoother action and holders less powerful than alligator clips. If anyone can direct me to a suitable device, I would be very grateful.
thanks
thanks

I agree that Helicon or Zerene are the way to go. I have been using Helicon Focus and the results are extraordinary,

It is fairly specific to scorpions, they all fluoresce under long wave UV. I also shoot them in white light since each allows different details to be seen.

This was illuminated with long wave UV. The image was shot using Helicon Remote to control the process. The stack was 25 slices, shot at f4, 1 second exposure using a Nikon D7200 and a 105 mm Macro lens on a copy stand. The stack was processed using Helicon Focus, using method C. This image was originally over 100MB, but has been scaled down to allow uploading.
You can see why, once something is caught, it is so hard to escape!
