Thanks Bas.
Didn't really think about the accuracy of the 1.06mm - a bit OTT perhaps but that was how it worked out. Can be useful to have a reasonable size estimate for ID purposes but around 1mm long would have been fine

You certainly are the shizzle with these pics, Brian V. I'd love to be able to get shots like these. Great stuff!!!!

Lord's body of work and consistency is amazing .. sometimes when I am alone at night.
Sitting in front of my computer, caressing my camera while lightroom imports another
gigabyte of worthless macro attempts from the day onto my hard drive - I think and wonder
how does "The V", the Chuck Norris of macro photography store all of his work. I know of
no disk that could store all this stuff :D:D

Thanks for the comments Cody and manfred

manfred- I just have a lot of external drives and I only keep high quality jpgs of the finished pic.
