I spent some time over the last few weeks playing with our imaging system here in the division. I'm still learning, but so far I'm pleased with the results. Here is a composite of some of the new Oocyclus from Venezuela I am describing with Mauricio Garcia. I've just finished the photos for all 15 species. Next up: tackling the 35+ species of Berosus. The time it takes to take the actual photos is not really that long (I take as stack of about 15-25 images and then use CombineZ to smash them together)--the tedius time-involved process is selected a presentable specimen that is CLEAN (or, as clean as you can get it) and positioning it just so.
