Motorized & Steromicroscope z-stack of Oberonia flower

[tropterrarium]

Here's something more interesting.
1) Oberonia inflorescence z-stacked using Cognysis StackShot, about 4:1 with Canon MPE 65 mm lens and Canon 5DmkII, Canon MT24EX twin macroflash, z-stacked with Zerene stacker based on a forty frame stack. f/5.6, steps 70 micrometers.

2) individual Oberonia flower, about 1 mm size, on Zeiss Discovery V12 with 0.63x planapo, Axiocam HRc, run through HeliconFocus, about 30 frames.

Resolution of latter is limited by low numerical aperture of system. For better resolution I am now doing scanning electron microscopy of critical point dried flowers. Loads of fun.
