Leafy landscapes under the microscope
by Mike Gibson

'Leafy landscapes under the microscope' as revealed by acetate peels.  Mike Gibson used a combination of Rheinberg optical filters and oblique illumination to produce some of these effects shown here with Hedera helix and Bindweed. This was achieved through taking acetate peels of leaves. You can learn more about how to take leaf peels in our online projects area.
