Bevel
For Macro Mondays - Medications
Hypodermic needle.
Reversed Nikkor EL50 lens, PB-6 bellows. Zerene stacker - 70 subimages at approximately 60µ intervals.
The needle was inserted through a black foam board - the Luer-lock hub end was then illuminated by a speedlight and snoot, with light spilling out the bevel end. (this resulted in a pure oval of light in the bevel...) A small amount of fill light was added from the front right to clarify the subject.
The initial magnification was 3.5x, and the image was cropped. The bevel is 5mm in length - the image is 6mm (0.24 inches) in greatest dimension.
