Stackduino PCB

Showing: both sides, top, bottom.

Prototyping an arduino based macro focus stacking contoller.

Stackduino is an Arduino based controller for automating focus stacking.

A stepper motor moves the camera/ subject between pictures and the controller sends a shutter signal to the camera to take each picture. For safety, the camera is electrically separated from the controller using opto-isolators.

Features:

Set step size Set number of steps Set pause time between steps Toggle whether stage returns to start position at end of stack Select unit of measurement for steps: microns, mm or cm Manual fwd/ bwd control of stepper motor to set up the shot Select speed of stepper motor Automatically cancel stacking if a limit switch is reached

Ermine Moth Caterpillars

The caterpillars live communally and cover their surroundings with silk webbing to protect themselves and their food plant. This is a sub group of a larger colony of several hundred.

Dagger Fly

150 images, 14mn spacing.

I'm guessing the 'tongue' protruding from the end of the needle would be retracted in a living specimen and then protruded into the body of the victim once it's pierced. Do they turn their food into soup like spiders?

Males are required to present a dead insect to the female as a mating gift. It's a touching moment.
