Simply Stunning - almost looks like a Japanese fan. A
beautiful image, superbly executed - your standards always leave me astonished 75'.

Amazing shot!
How did you fix the background noise in the image?

Many thanks mrsonchus, WhyMe and Wes
So effectively, a lot of very mini pixels.
Pretty much as is, as due to the number of stacks, this photo is only about 10% of the stitched image.How did you fix the background noise in the image?

Impressive as usual !
Re: Licmophora flabellata
Simply amazing Glen ! Do you use a micro manipulator ?
Re: Licmophora flabellata
Many thanks Hobbyst46 and mintakax
I do however barely tap the alga on the cover slip (which transfers just a drop or two of water), so that when I find something worthwhile it is usually on its own and there is very little detritus to stop the cover slip laying nice and flat.
No I don't, though I suppose that would be the next step.Do you use a micro manipulator ?

Hi Glen,
great image!
It seems that stitching increases image quality even when it is reduced to 1024 pixel web image size afterwards. In theory it should be fine to use whatever objective covers the whole object in one frame. There must be a physical reason for this. When you find your next object that you want to photograph with stitching, can you take a single image with a lower power objective too for comparison?

Re: Licmophora flabellata
Thanks MicroBob
Even when reduced to the same size as that taken by a lower power there will still be more detail available.
Will try with either the 63x/1.4 and the 40x/1.0 or the 40x/0.65 and the 25x/0.60
Will be happy to make the comparison test, however the advantage of stitching is that it allows one to photograph a subject with both higher magnification and higher NAIt seems that stitching increases image quality even when it is reduced to 1024 pixel web image size afterwards.
