I am not sure about the blue background though.

TBH I'm not really sure what colour would work other than "natural" ( clear), or blue

Thank you very much the trick is making the things in this book.

Thanks for the links, but TBH I don't really have the patience to try it myself.

A fascinating set David. You've got that working really well. A whole new world.

I think the first image is particularly intriguing. I can't help wondering what the various things inside it do, and what it does with those delicate "arms".

Photographing Water-fleas Daphnia - The Canadian Nature Photographer

Water flea are tricky but a lot easier than cyclops - they move much faster. It was gruseome seeing them getting eaten by the hydra. I just home I can find them again - it takes quite some time to find things in the pond.
