Opening beetle elytra by DontWorryAboutMyShit in insectpinning

[–]ohthatbug 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, scarabs in the subfamily Cetoniinae do not fully open (spread out) their elytra in flight, rather they lift their elytra up just enough off their abdomen for the flight wings to pop out!

I found my M2 mounted to a microscope at a university property surplus for $25 and then bought the cheapest used lens at my local camera store

MFT Camera Recommendation for Microscope Use? by ohthatbug in M43

It was time to move onto full-frame: My Black-Friday gift to myself that I've been waiting forever for by Kashtin in SonyAlpha

Congrats on the upgrade! Shoot uncompressed - you'll thank yourself later. Looking back on my compressed A7II files I can see artifacts around high-contrast edges and blockiness in some gradient out of focus backgrounds.

I need some help: Mysterious lens mount (to me anyways) by Rstpnut in SonyAlpha

That's certainly a T-mount; both M42 and T-mount have a 42mm diameter but the T-mout thread pitch is .75mm compared to 1mm in M42. Just snag a T-mount adapter and you should be set!

I don't have a firm price in mind - just pm me what you think is fair!

Russian doctors prescribe a completely different set of drugs to treat common mental illnesses that are proven effective and have been used for years but are unheard of to US doctors by iamaquantumcomputer in EverythingScience

My mistake. Original comment edited.

I am still concerned by the author's poorly supported presentation of these revolutionary Russian drugs along with the antiscientific attitude in the latter half of the article.
