Hi Steve: The later photos have been enhanced color wise.... the sponge appears in natural light as yellowish buff with pinkish rusty lines first couple of frames.... I am trying to image those spicules cross shape... using a Russian Lens Vega -11U M39 mount on a special Foveon camera... this camera has its UV and IR filter removed to allow full spectrum imaging some you get some fake colours but enhanced details if one is looking for microstructures....ie spicules...
