Gnatting there. The entire run was successful. #setzkasten

This is why I love #focusstacking. Look at the wrinkles on the neck of that gnat. The hairy compound eyes. The little ..erm... grey...thingy next to it. Anyone good with gnat anatomy? #setzkasten

I think I fixed the focus runoff issues on the #frankenscope, and if nothing else interrupts the current run, that's a 12x16 grid being captured in 130 layers at 80x magnification.

Progress on the #frankenscope. Since all the software is networked, I just moved the scanning stack onto a cube PC. The machine is connected via one of our edge routers to 5G, and sits in a #tailscale/#headscale network.

That turns it into a fully remote operated #microscope. I can explore the slide, mark an extent, start a scan and monitor the progress.

Currently I am still tuning the scanning process, which seems to be ever so slightly running away from what should be a mechanical endstop. Then some traveling, and still crossing fingers for some more content to #setzkasten soon.

Habe soeben die Bestückung meines 1. #Setzkasten beendet. Dachte eigentlich ich hätte genug Material für 2 aber mit der Heißklebepistole im Overdrive blieb nicht genug Material für den 2. übrig. 😭
