Image edit prompt“Present this image as a nineteenth-century photomicrograph: seen through a brass microscope in a perfect circular field, monochrome sepia-gray tones, razor-thin focus plane with soft out-of-focus edges, fine translucent cell-like textures, dust motes and glass slide scratches. Keep the original subject and composition.”
