Euconnus
Chamblee, DeKalb County, Georgia, USA
December 8, 2009
Size: 1 mm
Collected via Berlese extraction from mixed forest litter.
A genus-level ID would be great; little guy is a little small for me to take good pics of with my camera equipment.

Camera equipment
I see that you use a Canon PowerShot A630, which is a very modest camera. Did you also use another lens or a microscope? Some of you perform miracles with such equipment and I wish that you would pass that information to other contributors with comparable cameras, but without the skills; unfortunately they post bad images of very interesting specimens. I have mentioned this in the forums several times and I wish that there was more discussion of this sort in the forums; then I could tell others to read such discussions in order to improve their photography.

well...
I come into this forum as an entomologist and not a nature photographer. I must admit I am not technologically very competent :-) Luckily, I have acess to digital camera equipment at work, as digital imaging of parasites is part of my job as an editor and technical writer for the
DPDx
website. For the pics I post, I use a hand-held Canon PowerShot A630 with an adaptor (Canon, LA-DC58F) that fits into the ocular of a dissecting microscope.
After the pic is taken, I do adjustments in Photshop, with regards to brightness/contrast, levels and sharpness (unsharp mask).
Hope this helps!

...any other ideas?
Just trying a few of these myself.
American beetles has that
Microscydmus
has the 7th antennomere longer and wider than the 8th (the 8th is smaller and it's quite obvious), but this specimen has no apparent reduction in the 8th antennomere...
