- Description
-
This is a micro gigapan of a small spot of blood, which looks a little like our earth. The images were collected at ~2000x magnification.
This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take large pictures of very small things.

Sorry for the delay, the canon S5 IS was attached using a Martin Microscope adapter, MM99: www.martinmicroscope.com/MMbyCamer a.htm

Nice. Seeing plenty of red cells, but not found a white one yet. The race is on to be the first to snapshot one.

Neat gigapan, How did you attach the S5IS to a microscope?
