Digital Photomicrography

A MicropticsTM ML1000 system, recently installed in the PI’s laboratory, allows digital photomicrography of dry and wet (ethanol submerged) as well as large to small specimens under visible and long-wave ultraviolet light (the latter exploiting the fluorescence property of the scorpion epicuticle). Using AutoMontage^TM software, multiple images taken at different, but overlapping spatial planes can be combined through superimposition to circumvent problems with reduced depth-of-field and achieve completely focused images.
