They look so round to the naked eye!

Nice shot!

Thanks for sharing a non-bug macro...ย

I love the way macro can show so much more than the eye.  The seed looks round and black but is purple and has a wonderful texture.

I agree.  I've had extension tubes for a couple of years, just recently got the Oly 60 Macro plus Raynox 250.  But I have no interest in bugs, but come to this forum looking for ideas.  I have toothpicks AND honey!  Maybe I'll get off the dime...

Re: Poppy seed

Great idea and methodology. Can you get any closer? To me, the seed IS the image.

Re: Poppy seed

Yes, I can get double the magnification, but the available lens to do this is not of sufficient quality.

I'll give it a try with what I have, probably tomorrow, and see what comes out.๐Ÿ™‚

I've been waiting for a few weeks to get some lenses that interest me back in stock, then can do it again when will be available.

Re: Poppy seed

This is a poppy seed from the crust of a loaf of bread with all sorts of seeds. A better microscope lens would resolve more detail.
