Pseudo oblique lighting.

When you have lemons, make lemonade.
I took a photo using a 40x objective on the Bausch & Lomb microscope and inadvertently moved the filter holder into the light path.
When I looked at the photo I thought it looked a bit like oblique lighting. So I moved the filter holder out three quarters of the way and took another photo.
I now had two lemon photos. What to do with them? Why not make the two into one using Photoshop's Merge to HDR. HDR requires three photos so a third was taken as originally intended.

To give some context to the photo, the fourth image is the same area with a 10x obj.
