Excellent stuff although I gave up looking due to their very clunky way of going from one picture to the next

Wow...unbelievable images. Even the lowest ranking ones would win most competitions hands down. No.20 the bat embryos remind me of Darth Vader before he developed 'attitude'.

Stacking.

Basically it involves taking multiple pictures at slightly different focus points (say work from the front backwards) and then using software to combine them into one picture.

Stackings ok for static (dead) samples but at least one purports to be in real time. So how do they do that?

I have stacked live insects on quite a few occasions.
Admittedly this was only 6 shots because I wanted just the antennae, eyes and head in focus but the bee was still enough for me to take loads more shots.

Point taken - wow

I must be unlucky in my choice of subjects
