Springtail on the slide
Shots of what turned out to be a female on a glass slide. Great fun trying to herd one of these onto the slide (not!).

Re: Springtail on the slide
Great series. In #1 I assume the bug was standing on a clear glass slide and you photographed from underneath. In #2 the bug is crawling along the edge of a clear glass slide. However in #3 there is no faint double reflection off of the surface which normally occurs when clear glass is used at this angle. What is the bug standing on?

Re: Springtail on the slide
Thanks for the kind comments all
- much appreciated.Athena- trying to squeeze the max detail out of these 5:1 shots. Bob they were all taken on the same glass slide - not sure why there is no double reflection in #3 but the shot was taken at a very shallow angle relative to the glass surface which was sitting on a black surface ( a water barrel lid). There is a very odd distortion band in the reflection at the rear end which is nothing to do with focus stacking. Brian V. |

Re: Springtail on the slide
Love the details, Brian. Their eyes don't seem to have symmetry....if I'm looking at the right thing.
What is a glass slide? |

Re: Springtail on the slide
I'm guessing he means the type you'd use with a microscope?

Re: Springtail on the slide
Thanks Tom.
The eyes are those black patches and are made up of a loose collection of simple eyes - think there is 8 per patch. Yes Athena is correct I was using a microscope slide to shoot through. Brian V. __________________
