Butterfly wings

Post by Charles Krebs »

3X objective on the left image and 10X objective on the right. The ones on the right were actually very translucent, almost like colored glass, and were the scales covering a "clear" eyespot on the wing.
Fiber optic illumination was used to light them from the top.
