Photomicrography (microphotography, macro), focus stacking----make money online

hey everyone someone asked about how I

do my super macro photography and so I

thought I'd talk a little bit about the

set up today for some stuff I use this

which is just a microscope objective put

on to a bunch of adapters and this goes

right on to the camera so this is a

micro four-thirds to Nick on adapter and

then this side is a thing that I made

from a Nikon lens that died and I glued

a washer in there and then machined a

couple pieces of plastic for it so this

piece just comes off like that and you

can actually slide this around it's

meant to be sort of a friction fit here

so you can control the the distance from

the lens to the to the camera one thing

that's cool to remember is that the

amount of magnification you get is

dependent only on the distance or the

ratio of distances from the lens to the

image plane and the lens to the object

so for most typical photography if

you're taking a picture of a mountain

the lens is much closer to the focal

plane than it is to the mountain so you

actually have negative magnification

there in a microscope it's the other way

around where the lens is very close to

the object they're relatively far away

from the image plane so by moving the

camera relative to where the microscope

objective is you can actually get

different levels of magnification with

the same objective so what I do on my

microscope is just unscrew the eyepiece

because we don't need the eyepiece to

make an image on the focal plane so

what's happening here is the microscope

objective is already forming a real

image up here so if we just put the

camera right here then everything works

and we can control the zoom level or

control the magnification level just by

sort of fine-tuning the position of the

camera so to use this all I do is just

simply place that on there and the

camera is attached here I can't show it

to you cuz I'm using this camera to

shoot the video right now and then you

even have a slight amount of adjustment

here to get the image centered and

orient it just the way you like one

problem is that it really high

magnification levels the depth of field

is quite narrow

so certainly you've seen pictures taken

through a microscope

go poor not very much is in focus

because that's how the optics sort of

worked out and to get around this what

we can do is a technique called focus

stacking so the idea is that you focus

at the topmost part of your object and

take a picture and then rack this down a

little bit to focus a little further

down and then take another picture and

keep going all the way down to the

bottom of your image so you'll end up

with something like 10 or 20 images for

your average set up kind of like this

and then you use software to combine all

the sharp parts of the images into one

nice image so now Photoshop actually has

this capability built in but before that

or if you don't have Photoshop there's

various free tools that do it and I'll

put a link in the description one of the

tools that I've used in the past is

called combine ZM and it has all kinds

of different parameters if you're a

tuner it's a couple other bits of kit

that help with this setup one is a

remote shutter release so if you if you

move the camera a little bit between

frames you have to do a lot more work

later on and software to align all the

images so one way to avoid that problem

is to not touch your camera at all and

just you know take a picture and move

this down a bit take another picture

like this and eventually you can collect

a whole stack pretty quickly that way

also you want to make sure your camera

is set on manual so it doesn't change

the exposure on you as you're going up

and down this way here's some other

images that I collected using the same

method one of the problems is that you

actually can't get far enough away from

the object so I bought a very low-power

microscope objective a 2 X objective and

even that's actually too much

magnification for a lot of subjects

another really interesting thing that I

just read about was a the use of a

liquid lens to collect focus stacked

images in real time in video so I've got

some other videos about liquid lenses

and their main feature is that you can

change focal length very quickly like

potentially tens or hundreds or even

thousands of times a second and if you

put that in front of your camera you can

take pictures at different focal depths

many many times faster than your video

frame rate and if you've got a

high-speed camera

you can do all the focus stacking all at

the same time and then end up with video

images that have been focused stacked

which have sort of a young unnaturally

high depth of field and I'll put a link

to the that video in the description too
