Basil Flower

iPhone 6s with Nurugo Micro 400x clip-on microscope, Camera+

Nurugo is a fun, easy to use microscope for smart phones. The down side it there is no DOF control so taking "3D" subject is quite a big problem.

Thank you for viewing.

A fascinating closeup of a garden flower - and the first I've heard of clip-on microscopes for smartphones. There are a number of them.
DOF is always a problem at high magnification - the closer you get, the less DOF there is.
The actual amount of DOF varies according a complicated equation.

Hi

A nice interesting image that is good fun - I was thinking the subject looked like a mushroom / fungal one lol

All the best
Matthew

Very cool for sure! I thought it was a mushroom too. It is best to view it on the darker b/g.

Ah! Mushroom!

I guess I have messed up with the contrast setting again!

Thank you all for your kind replies.
