Myanmar Amber

[almach]

Here are some photos of Myanmar amber taken with my new camera.  I am sure must of you have your method of photographing amber.  So here is mine, first I submerge the piece of amber in Mineral oil, which usually flattens the image keeping most of the inclusion in focus.  It also will make some of the micro cracks on the surface of the amber disappear.  I can sometimes move the amber around to keep the lamp used to see the object out of the photo.  Let me know how you do it.  You may have a better way.  I will only put two photos on at a time.

 

1. First is a stinkbug at 20x.

2. Leaf at 20x,

Previous photos were a beetle and a gnat.

 

These two are an aphid at 40x and a leafhopper at 20x?

Coco,

 

They could be coprolites, didn't think of that.  On at least one of my cricket photos, looks like a lot of small coprolites, I have included a photo.

May not be coprolites. 
This Burmite with inclusions was sold to me as “plant spores”
