Same specimen, and back to 4X objective magnification, but this time I tried focus-stacking (previously, I didn't focus stack at this level). Focus-stacking is somewhat easier in this level of magnification, but harder and more delicate at 10X. Total magnification here should be somewhere around 160X.

I’m excited because I get to go to a zoological specimen lab tomorrow to do some drawing. I’ve barely made any illustrations these past couple of years because all my creative energy has been going into writing. I look forward to the change of pace. I hope I haven’t forgotten how to draw. Note to self: don’t grab a jar of foetal kitten. Last time, it was leaky.
