I have made changes to the microscope, microscope objectives, eyepiece lens, camera adapter, how I mount the camera, camera settings, how I collect the images, and now, how I light some of the 3D subjects. The Blue Jay feather that had so disappointed me January 19th at the very beginning of this microphotography rabbit hole adventure (due to a lack of color) - now shows it's color. Thanks for the help understanding, and the directional guidance to the fine folks at photomacrography.net.
