Hello,

The sand on Roatan-beach did not contain many forams. This is a stack of a 400 µm large specimen, taken with 25x Neofluar, transmitted and reflected (Sansjö-Lamp) light. The original fotos where quite dull and required quite some contrast and sharpness enhancement, negative, grayscaled.

Cheers,

Beautiful image. Grayscale was the right choice.

What mounting medium did you use?

Yes, that really came out spectacular. Inspirational, even (I really dig forams)!
