This is a fly face photographed on a compound microscope with a 3X objective and a 2.5X photo-eyepiece. There were about 40 images in the stack.

These cyclops eggs were photographed using a compound microscope. 16 images were combined using Helicon Focus.

This daphnia (water flea) was photographed using a compound microscope. 5 images were combined in Helicon Focus.
