Comparison of the Elytrimitatrix digitized with the professional setup (A shot with the 60 mm macro lens and B with the Canon MP-E 65 mm lens), the compact camera’s manual focus stacking mode (C) and internal stacking mode (D). A depicts the whole specimen as would be shot for publication purposes. The red box indicates the section shown in B, C, D and the blue box indicates how the specimen was framed in these three images. Note that the stronger reflections in C, D are the result of a different lighting setup.
