Fossils recovered from residues were photographed using a GIGAmacro Magnify2 Robotic Imaging System with Canon EOS Rebel T8i DSLR and Nikon T1 1x and 3x objectives.

Acid-residue fossils imaged on a Magnify2 and compared against X-ray microscopy to test preparation bias.

Systems used: Magnify2

Camera & lens: Canon EOS Rebel T8i DSLR, Nikon T1 1x and 3x objectives
