Pics shot for Christmas Colors but not entered

Both these pictures are closeups bordering on the microscopic range. The flatworm is backlit by sunlight bringing out the beautiful zoozanthellae. It is surrounded by an unknown type of algae on the glass. The caulerpa was shot with a red-purple mushroom as an out of focus background.

Thanks. You are right I did use diopters. The main lens was a Nikkor 105mm f2.8 micro. I mounted a 50mm f1.4 lens on the front of it, in the reverse position, as the diopter. It is fun to try. I find things I can’t see with my eyes alone.
