Springtail.jpeg

As part of a 2-year research project, this image was published in Scientific American and in a number of other journals and periodicals here in the US and abroad. Shot with a Canon 1DS, MK2 with a Canon 65mm MP-E Macro lens and Life-Size Converter for a magnification of about 7 times. No flash was used. These critters are *tiny* being only several millimeters long.
