Ready to display right out of the box. Handcrafted in the USA. Light micrograph of synapses between a motor neurone (treelike) & skeletal muscle cells (bands in background). The end of the axon (large fibre) of a motor neurone in contact with a muscle cell divides into branches, each one terminating in a motor end plate on a different muscle fibre. A single axon thereby has the ability to activate several hundred muscle fibres. The end of each branch divides to form a cluster of small swellings on the muscle surface (visible). The motor end plate fits into a recess in the muscle fibre & releases neurotransmitter chemicals that activate or inhibit muscle activity. Magnification: x50 at 35mm size. Reference: MICROCOSMOS, figure 2.24, page 27. The Print This photographic print leverages sophisticated digital technology to capture a level of detail that is absolutely stunning. The colors are vivid and pure. The high-quality archival paper, a favorite choice among professional photographers, has a refined luster quality.

Macro photography, also known as photomacrography, macrography or macrophotography is the art of taking photos that reveal details which are not visible to the naked eye. The size of the subject is thus larger than in real life, so what better example than insects to demonstrate the power of macro photography? I've put together a showcase of the most awesome insect macro photos of 2011, to get your design inspiration juices flowing on a slow Monday.

This is a portrait of a Wall crab spider (flattie, Selenopidae, Arachnida; ID: ...) from Katanga (DR Congo). These spiders are very common in buildings, both in and outside town. They are extremely flat and run sideways over walls and ceilings, hiding in narrow crevices. The chelicera and fangs are impressive; here about 3.4mm long. Studio work with a preserved specimen (in ethanol since January 2013). Image based on 200 exposures, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax). Canon 5Dmkii, Canon FD bellows, Rodenstock Apo-Gerogon 240/9, Mitu planapo 5x, ISO-100, 1/160sec, flash diffused with tracing paper. Image 3.5mm wide (6.8x on ff).

I used a phone and a macro lens to get these great close-up shots of insects and plants. Here are some tips on how to do the same whether you use an iPhone or an Android phone.
My youngest son came with this fly "Dad!, it has green eyes !!". It's a species (exact ID?) from the Dolichopodidae (long-legged flies), very tiny mouth parts, males with an enormous sex hanging out of the abdomen. Notice the dense layer of tiny white hairs coming from in between the posterior ommatidia. Studio stack based on 168 images (ISO100, f/5.0, 1/200sec, flash, paper cylinder diffusor). ZereneStacker (4 Dmaps and 3 Pmax), LR for noise reduction and sharpening, GIMP for cleaning away tiny dust particles on the eyes and quick/coarse correcting of faulty crossings/overlaps of some bigger hairs. Uncropped image, about 3mm high, i.e. 12x magnification (ff). Gear used: see tags

There was a time – before the advent of synthetic fibres based on plastics and petrochemicals - when the wealth and security of nations depended on tough, coarse plant fibres that provided rigging for sailing ships and the raw material for countless other essential objects - like sacks and sails for example - so explorers were always on the look-out for new supplies of this strategic material. Joseph Banks, travelling on Captain Cook’s first voyage to the South Seas in 1769, had high hopes that he might make a fortune from growing New Zealand flax Phormium tenax that he found in those Antipodean islands, as a substitute for cannabis fibre which, up until then, had provided most of the fibre for rigging naval vessels. Maoris made their traditional textiles from the Phormium fibres but Banks envisaged a thriving industrial market for the product, whose fibres are much stronger than those of cannabis, and an attempt was made to use convicts to grow the plant as a fibre crop on Norfolk Island. Banks was destined to be disappointed - you can read an account here - but it did become an important source of fibre for rigging in the 19th. century.. The image above shows a transverse section of a New Zealand flax leaf, using the fluorescent dye auramine O to stain the lignified fibres, which show up as the transverse yellow-green bands in the image. I've turned the natural orientation of the leaf 90 degrees clockwise, to fit the page. The thick-walled fibres have a tiny central cavity (the lumen), which is typical of sclerenchymatous fibres. The transverse red bands are photosynthetic parenchymatous cells - chlorophyll fluoresces red in the blue light that was used to illuminate the specimen. The bright blue cells are bundles of thin-walled phloem, which has no lignin in its walls, and the brighter yellow cells surrounding the phloem will be lignified xylem, conducting water. The lower surface of the leaf, to the left of the image, has a lignified hypodermis, below the epidermis. The natural function of the fibres and lignified hypodermis is to provide structural rigidity for the long, narrow, sword-shaped leaves, which are held upright in the living plant, which is illustrated below (public domain image from Wikipedia Commons http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/NZflaxPiha02.jpg Today Phormium tenax is mostly grown as a decorative garden plant.

I quite like what’s going on in the background. For me it adds rather than detracts.
