Greetings all, Now that we have a stationary camera on our new trinocuar stereo microscope, I tried some focus stacks, something I had never been able to do on fossils before! (I do it at work for geological specimens) I used Picolay - a free ware that works very well right out of the gate. you can get it here: http://www.picolay.de/ So here are some initial results. First, a tall spired gastropod that is about 2mm in size. I had 6 levels of focus from background to tip of the spire. First a single normal shot like I wold have had to settle for in the olden days: and now after a 6 step stack: Here is an Aviculopectin rim from the Fort Apache Limestone found recently, a very large and difficult piece to normally photograph. First the single frame: Now a 9 layer stack: I can get used to this! Comments?
