Drosophila - Fruit Fly macro
I don't know which species of Drosophila this fly is. Despite spending 3 years studying Drosophila, I never needed to be able to tell species apart.
I've not done a stack for a little while, and thought I would give one a go, as all the necessary adaptors have arrived to allow me to use the EL-Nikkor 50mm enlarger lens.
There is a lot which has not worked for this image. I had wanted to try a stack moving the rear standard of the bellows unit, but thought for the purposes of comparison, I would try two separate stacks, one from moving the rear standard, and the other from moving the entire unit, which I have been doing until this point. This image was done moving the entire unit, at 4:1. I certainly missed a number of sharp areas, which is a real shame. The lighting in the image taken moving the rear standard was a little off, so I have not bothered processing it.
Heavily cropped from the original, as the main body of the fly was badly damaged during its capture.
