This photo shows the photo of an ant, in particularly the complex leg anatomy. For example you can see the several joints of the leg.

This ant was found at 2:36 AM on 5/31/19

This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The ant was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around. The foldoscope was then rested onto a phone that was displaying a white background and a second phone was used to record the image. The phone was used over ambient light so that a more precise light control could be used. The magnification of the foldoscope was changed until the picture was clearly in focus. A photo was then taken of the specimen.
