On March 29th, 1911 the US military adopted the Colt 45 Auto as their standard issue handgun until October 1986 when it was replaced by the Beretta M9, however it is still used by some forces to this day, and has been used by police, and civilians alike.

This is a single-frame, unstacked image, taken with an inexpensive 10X "finite" microscope objective lens.

 

Depth of field is only about 11 microns, which is .00043 inches. Yikes. Stacked images made with this lens require the subject to be precisely moved between frames in increments of less than a half-thousandth of an inch!

 

Lots of dust/oil spots on the D600's sensor, clearly revealed by the very small aperture of the microscope lens. Gotta buy a wet cleaning kit, as Nikon apparently has no intention of dealing with this very widespread problem.

This was another "as-found" scene.

 

The nice rock has an insect leg on it's top. I wonder how that got there? A nice warm spot to sit for another insect, while it had it's noon-time meal?

 

Or perhaps a memento of an insect war, evidence of the field amputations that occur even on tiny battlefields.

If anyone can identify the species, I would appreciate it...

 

My guess is raven, as it was HUGE. I've never been this close to one before. It was almost tame.

An inexpensive Walmart LED lightbulb in the Compound bathroom draws them in like moths to the flame.

  

(2007) This is a CZ-75B semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W caliber. It is manufactured in the Czech Republic and is a highly regarded sidearm among military and police personnel worldwide.
