Re: That was captured with a 5x objective

Thank you! 🙂
The eyes are the way they are. I'm not a biologist and I don't see anything special. Perhaps the lighting gives an interesting perspective.

Digital camera sensors are less sensitive and lose a lot of detail in the presence of light of certain wavelengths in the red and sometimes orange color range, especially in underexposed areas.
This can cause areas of high detail to appear next to areas lacking detail, as is the case on the right side of the image for example, from the middle of the eye downwards.
If this suggests that the eye has been cropped from another image and added there, it is not.
The lighting was somewhat complex, with two LED light sources of slightly different spectrum, plus natural light and a small white reflective panel.

The subject wasn't dead but just seriously "incapacitated", and because it moved, I couldn't get enough images for a quality stack.

Was an interesting experience. 🙂
