Polarized midge larvae

[Seta]

I did a whole series trying my polarizing set up, on top of the source light there is a 52mm polarizer, then in the middle of the swing out condenser a clear (or frosted) plastic CD protector from a CD box working as a retarder (kind of) and just below the camera the analyzer on a 30 to 37mm step up ring (makes it easy to remove it)



First one is the front part with Nikon CF 10/0.50 Fluor via Direct projection on a Olympus BHT, XPol + retarder, 64 image stack with Sony A5100

A superb crisp photograph. Your experimental set up is working very well indeed!

The stereo really adds a lot to the image. How did you get that?

With Zerene stacker; is one of its features. When focus stacking more than 30 images or so you can get good synthetic stereo pairs
