By Andrea Kautz Here is a great example of how much of a difference imaging in fluid vs. imaging a dry specimen can make. Here, I tried imaging a small water strider, family Veliid first wet and then dry. I wasn't sure how the feathery swimming plumes would respond to drying out so I imaged it wet first in case they broke. It turns out that imaging dry is much better for revealing detail and texture relief, especially for a specimen with a dark body, Hempitera: Veliidae: Rhagovelia dorsal (wet): http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/2f7302bbc767541f33ceb39cc2e73b47 dorsal (dry): http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/8184980845a500c7cd2343d9eb59b23a Comments are closed.
