Reverse pixel peeping.

[John Marchant]

I was testing some macro equipment for a shooting concept we're developing... thought it would be fun to point one Red at another.

Interesting to peep at the pixels this way round hehe!

I have another significant factor of magnification still to come, but already working at this scale is going to give me headaches with vibration and dof so impossibly shallow.

super cool. On the color sensor, i'd expect it to look "greener" ... but I'm guessing the "green" pass through reflects blue/red kind of like a hotmirror(so the purpleish sites are actually green)? Is each of the weaves a sensor (this is adding up to around 17 weaves per .1mm, which is about what one would expect for a 5k sensor count) ?

Those are indeed the individual photosites! I now want to repeat the shot when the remaining macro gear shows up- that should blow things up almost 10x from here. Blurring the boundary between macro and microscopy at that point!

Incidentally this is shot with the crazy combination of a custom extension tube, a reversed wide prime and a purpose made macro diopter. Field of view is about 2 mm wide over an s35 frame, with focus at around 40mm from the front element!
