Mr. Lara is a career scientific and commercial photographer and professor of information systems and internet technologies.
My clients are numerous, from the medical, pharmaceutical, engineering, biological, and commercial sectors. All my photographic work is currently done on digital format from micro to macro to life size photography. Canon is my preferred camera body and optics. My flashes and lights vary depending on the assignment. I carry filtration from infra red to UV radiation, polarized, and flourescense photography. As far as electronics and instrumentation, I am equipped with high speed and stroboscopic lighting for high speed photography. I work in my studio or on location whatever suits the story.

What is macro?
Photomacrography is usually defined as any magnification at the film plane of 1X (life size) and higher. Anything below life size is considered a “closeup.” Simple diopter lenses placed in front of the normal camera lens, or sometimes a small extension tube between the camera and main lens, usually result in magnifications below a 1:1 ratio.
Macro photography is close-up photography; the classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject. On 35 mm film (for example), the lens is typically optimized to focus sharply on a small area approaching the size of the film frame. Most 35mm format macro lenses achieve at least 1:2, that is to say, the image on the film is 1/2 the size of the object being photographed. Many 35mm macro lenses are 1:1, meaning the image on the film is the same size as the object being photographed.

The Cantuta (often spelled Kantuta or Qantuta, from Quechua qantu) (Cantua buxifolia) is a flowering plant found in the high valleys of the yungas. It is the national flower of Peru. This flower is very similar to the Mirabilis jalapa (The four o'clock flower or marvel of Peru) is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis, and is available in a range of colours. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful and Jalapa is a town in Mexico. Mirabilis jalapa is said to have been exported from the Peruvian Andes in 1540. |  |

What is micro?
Photomicroscopy is the process of documenting images on film as seen through a microscope. It is usually defined as any magnification at the film plane of 10X (life size) and higher.
Transillumination considerations:
Glare
The intermediate plane aperture should be stopped down to reduce glare as well as bring out the detail in the image
Numerical Aperture
In simple words, the higher the NA, the larger the cone of light accepted by the lens, the higher its resolution, and the lower its depth of field. Most microscope lens have no iris diaphragm like a camera lens and so are used at full aperture -- but with microscopes one is generally interested in resolution, not in depth of field. A 100 X oil immersion lens typically has a NA of 1.24 to 1.4, which corresponds to a limiting resolution of about 0.2 micrometers with the proper illumination. For comparison, a typical mammalian cell is 8 to 10 micrometers in diameter. As a camera lens is stop
