The Entovision
system used to produce many of the close-up images on display in
this exhibition uses a process where a number of images are taken at
different focal planes through the depth of the insect. The operator
sets the top focal plane (the closest part of the insect to the
microscope lens) as well as the bottom focal plane (the furthest
part of the insect away from the lens) and an automated Z-stepper
moves the lens in even increments between these two settings.
