Elbow Grease


I wish I knew what this sample was. It wasn't labeled, so I have no idea what it is. In the slide, it looked as though it might be snake skin. It was photographed at a higher magnification (20x), so there wasn't a large depth of field. I managed to take somewhere between 7 and 10 photos, each at a different focal plane. Then I took them into photoshop and merged them together so that I have one image with a much larger depth of field. Most people use something like Z-Stack to merge their stacks together... but I'm proud to say that I did this by hand. :)
