Description

This is the first attempt at a micro gigapan using an optical microscope with a digitally controlled xyz stage (Prior Scientific Instruments ProScan H29XYZE controller). I think the magnification is around 200x. The camera attached to the microscope was a Cannon G5 IS.

I'm having some trouble getting the camera view to be unobscured. As you can see there is a significant amount of vignetting.

This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take large pictures of very small things.
