Nice image. "Temporary mount"
Nice image. "Temporary mount" -- you used petroleum to hold it in position (it's not immersed)? Is that a microscope shot? If so, can you explain a little about what you are using (and magnification). I'm still limited to digital camera and Raynox converter lenses.

Hey
Kevin. You can also browse through Jay's close-ups here, as he often explains his technique, and see also the photography sections here.
