Is a excellent first result, maybe a darker background and a more neutral slices can improve the contrast and the visibility of purple-green fringes normally is minor in Pmax.

You've got a great sense of relief in this picture, and I was wondering if you can get only with the lighting you comment. Sometimes I try to give the final image a bit high-pass or "clarity" filter of CameraRaw but it is difficult to get good results, without an artificial appearance in the final i...

I'm interesed in the "local contrast" enhacement of the image, is a post process after the stack is ready or is a part of the processing of individual slices?
I'm trying different processing configurations in Cameraraw and is always difficult to get a good balance.

Great work with that metallic colors and leave textures!

I normally use 0.01mm steps with the same camera and optics and work fine with no bands. Is the graduation of a standard micrometric stage and greatly convenient! (use the nonius scale is not easy for me)

As lauriek say, probably a pollen grain, may be Pinus sp. lots of that white spots floating around and "contaminating" macro shots here!

The insect looks very good with that technique... but the pollen grain is really fantastic!

Beautiful and very interesting series!

Good series, shows clearly the lack of unwanted glares with this flash, pure white petals and new leaves are very challenging subjects for flash!

An impressive assembly, with parts of the highest level and with the appearance of being stable as a rock! thanks for sharing.
