For those who don't know what the 45 degree viewing pane is for... notice how the pictures I just posted are more vibrant when taken through the viewing pane when compared to the shots taken from the sides. It is not as pronounced with browns but there is a big difference with blues, purples, greens, etc. This is how clams should be viewed.... from above. Their zooxanthellae reflects colors up so that is where you see the best colors. They are not reflecting as much color off to the sides so that is why the colors are more dull when viewed from the side. My photographic abilities leave a lot to be desired so you don't get a real accurate idea from these pics. The best example that showed up in the pics I posted is with the lined derasa. Notice the difference in the color of the purple rim in the top and side photos. The biggest difference is with the crocea but my camera does not want to take an accurate pic of this clam.
