Description
Glass catfish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis) on cross polar illumination. Cross polars are normally used in crystallography, but also works with near-transparent objects in macro photography. Here, two polarizer filters are combined to create a 'dark field', in such way that the light transmits from the black part of the image and any transparent object that interfere with the field, will reflect light and expose the photograph. Magnification 1X.
