This one was giving me space vibes. NASC freebie “Do Si Dos” week 5.
Edit, trying out a new stack process, minor improvements here and there:

It’s a Space Jellyfish & it’s pregnant… headed to it’s calving grounds with all our departed homies.

Is there a filter that is making the stalk look like that?
No filter @PatioMat, that’s how the stalk looks IRL through the microscope video output. They are almost crystal clear and reflect/refract light from surroundings.
Edit - no filter however, there’s a lot going on here… My current process is still to record a video of the trichome using the microscopes built in recording function, save to microSD, open with VLC Ventinari (has nvidia super resolution enabled), play upscaled, export a few hundred frames, import into ImageJ, register w/ stackreg, merge w/ z-project median, save as tiff.
Do that 3 times, one for the trichome exterior focus, one for trichome interior focus, one for stalk focus. Import all 3 as layers into photoshop and select the sharpest features from each of those, flatten, downscale to under 700mb for OG rules as jpeg.

Nope, usually they are limited to one single cap.

I like it when you can see an upside down image of another trichome reflected in the cap of the one you are imaging.

This one looks likethe head started to detach and then somehow stayed on by the look of that stem/shaft.
Is that what you folks see?
I wonder what the amber stuff is in the stem/shaft?

Looks like part of the stalk dried up to me. When the stalk dries up it gets thin, but the cap doesn’t change.
