One of my lens brushes began shedding hairs. Seems that a little bug of some sort had made a nest and done some trimming.
Not being set up for micro photography, I made use of a 10X Lupe to help my Q10 and 5mm -15mm lens to take photos of the nest, which was approximately 1.5mm in size.
Although not perfect, the result was OK as far as I’m concerned.

Re this post.
I realize now that I overcooked the operation. I didn't need the tripod, it only made things more difficult. I've just found that I can sit the Q10 lens directly on top of the Lupe and get a better result.
Sorry if I misled any one. It seems so obvious now

Not bad - amazing what you can do with simple equipment

Not perfect (where's the bug????).

G'day Bob256.
Seems that the bug had departed leaving just the fluffy "nest". I'd like to know what it might have been.
The brush was made from animal hair, very soft. I've had it for over 40 years!
Thanks for your interest.
Don.
