Common brimstone, Nikon 4x apo and Nikon 2x teleconverter.
I wanted to have an avatar - therefore the light and the post processing is a little more "artistic" than usual and the picture is up side down. 454 Pictures ZS, Adobe LR and PS.

Thanks Saul!
I am trying to figure out how to get the most out of my copy stand. I usually use my microscope for 5x and above, but when I need room for positioning it is much easier to use the copy stand. One problem is vibrations, the fun part is to learn how to use flashes for lighting. For the first picture i used one flash for each eye.

It is a fun challenge to check different combinations of tubelenses, tele converters, microscope objectives and distances. A small disappointment was the fact that the Nikon tele converter vignettes without a tube between the converter and the camera. For the last picture with the Mitutoyo 10x I changed the distance between the tele converter and the 150mm tube lens until it was at infinity. For the first picture with the 160mm Nikon plan apo 4x I am actually not sure how to figure out the best distance. I guess that the extra distance added buy the tube between the tele converter and the camera, and the fact that I use a Nikon tele converter on a Canon camera has to be taken into consideration.Saul wrote: Can you share more technical details, please ?

Yes FF.
I have tried a 400mm with good results. I read somewhere that the Mitutoyos were made to cover 30mm, so;
(aprox 44 mm FF diagonal / 30 mm ) * 200 mm (nominal tube lens) = aprox 300 mm tube lens. (150 mm tube * 2x enlarger). In my case, the extra empty tube and the fact that I use the 2x nikon extender on a Canon camera probably made the end results something other than 300 mm.
The corner performance was ok.
