Going dotty

Halftone pattern from a printed magazine using 4x objective

Print from a Canon S900 inkjet printer using 10x objective

Print from a Canon iP5300 using the 10x objective. The 1pl droplets clearly make a big difference to the amount of detail carried, but in comparison to the S900 there's not a great deal of difference in most cases; the reason being that the S900 has six inks (including one black), whilst the iP5300 only has five (including two blacks).

Print from a Canon Selphy CP510 using the 10x objective. The CP510 uses dye sublimation technology to produce continuous tones.

I'm not sure what triggered it, but I had a brainwave this afternoon. I have a microscope, and a little compact digicam (Sony U30) with a small lens, so why not combine the two? The results you can see above. I think they're quite pretty, in a colour blindness test kinda way ;)
