Macro Photography

This image was created to illustrate
the detail in a diode laser.  The 
image was created with a Nikon
35mm camera with a bellows 
attachment for macro photography.
The laser itself is seated on top of 
the block and is the size of a grain
of salt.  The dime was used to 
demonstrate the micro size of the
diode laser.  In the final assembly
the laser is mounted into a small
canister consisting of a lens to 
project the laser light and contact
points to mount into a circuit board.
