Photomicrography (microphotography, macro), focus stacking

In this video, I show my setup for taking focus-stacked images with microscope objectives. I use a Lumix GH1, which is a micro 4/3 format camera, and a custom adapter that lets me interface the camera to a microscope body or directly to a microscope objective.

  1. I've been following liquid lenses for a long time. Glad to hear it being brought up still. Another good video demonstrating the rapid stacking is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wvVqTmyb53s

  2. I spy a LaB6 microflat cathode! Although, I don't recognize the mount.
