butterfly wings

My son found a dry butterfly last month, and we put it under the microscope to look at the wings. (we have a small, but good field microscope, that magnifies at 30X). I use my regular camera and shoot through the viewfinder of the microscope the best I can. (-:

Look at the scales on the wings! Fantastic!

I put this up to show dnaknitter - please go and visit her site- she does amazing work photogrraphing through the microscope. (at much higher magnification than I do)
