This set of close ups were shot using a 90 power Olympus Microscope with a paxcam. It's the first time I tried this. The flower is a Orange Lily. The last one is a White Lily. I think I will try this setup again. I could use some comments on how to set up this type of shot. Thank you for your comments and looking

Lily close up 6 Petal folds

Lily close up 10 Pollen grains (This looks like Rice Pilaff)

Lily close up 8  Petal cells

  • Fascinating.  I don't know anything about your equipment but I would suggest keep trying.  Trial & error.  What a different perspective.  Well done.

  • Wow, super macros, and they are super.

    Don't know anything about this type, but from observing these I will guess.
    Low DOF, if you want the whole object in focus, it'll have to be flat.
    You've got a good light source, I don't know if you'll have to adjust the colors or not.

    From these shot, I'd say your on the right track.  Keep up the good work.
