Sminthuridae, I think. Perhaps Sminthurus viridis.

Looks like Dicyrtomina minuta
You can check it on a very good Collembola site!:

Thank you all!

Gordon: For this I used Canon's 60mm macro lens with extension tubes and a ring flash mounted on a Canon 450D body

Still, the image is cropped a lot (maybe too much)
