Your'e young aren't you? You really should think of your actions/words before you post on here. Maybe you need to do a Thinking Skills Programme, your local prison will probably do one.

Excellent photo's BTW.

I think that's an electron 'microscope' scan - it has far too much depth of field to be optical! So, no lenses, the subject has to be plated with metal and any colour is false...

I didn't say it was microscopic ya twit.

very educational!

PS brilliant pic, however obtained 🙂

*Meanwhile, Dez wishes he'd never bothered*

I thought they were fantastic photos! Especially liked the caterpillars's boogley eyes.

Who cares how it was taken, its a striking image.

PErsonally I find the SEM almost as interesting as the subject. We recently binned one at work, if I'd had the ability to order in the gases and a room to put it in I'd have taken it myself!

people who like taking pictures ? And it does make a difference, as the subject is necessarily dead as the scan is performed under vacuum, and any colour is an afterthought
