That is very nice!! those hairy subjects are allways difficult to deal with.
I see you are enjoying your mitutoyo, have you tested the USMCO 20 yet?
To push the mitutoyo up and down yo just have to extend the whole thing u or down, right?
Regards
Javier

John, again excellent stacks, I like in special the second one

10X is supposed with a 200mm tube lens. If the morfanon is a 172mm lens, the magnification would be smaller...  I'm missing something

Thank you!

Only what I didn't tell you: I increase magnification by increasing the bellows extension of the tube lens (just like Javier suggested)
In this image the morfanon (inside the black extension tube above the Mitutoyo) is probably close to infinity focus. As you can see there is plenty of room for extension/magnification variation in both directions.

Yes, in terms of edge performance it's very far from the Mitutoyo in combination with the "morfanon"! Center performance is quite respectable though! With a regular 200mm camera lens I couldn't see much difference but now it's very clear.

I really like the simplicity and versatility of this vertical setup, did you used difused flash for the capture or the auxiliary lights ?

I used flash for these but the last couple of days I've been using the Jansjö lights for exposure with EFCS – works very well and the results are similar but more predictable.

I am doing exactly the same, I am testing my new camera and some lenses with EFCS and 3 of these led lights. Up to 10x seems OK but I have seen everyhing moving at 40x when someone walks around (I live in a 5th floor)
What kind of Exposure times are you getting lets say with your mitutoyo 10 apo?
Regards
Javier

Just amazing.
I wasn't anticipating the rocking stereo photo, and I involuntarily flinched as I scrolled the web page down to this photo! My reaction was caused by my emotions/subconscious thinking this creature was real and coming out of the screen - it looked that real to me, temporarily. It took me a few seconds to realize that "it's only a picture"! This is the first and only time I've had such a reaction - I hope you enjoy my admittedly humorous report.
Great photos.

Truly impressive images, in the literal sense.
I can't get the similarity with these guys out of my head. |

Now that I've calmed down after the rocking stereo image freaked me out (see above), I think it looks like some sort of Star Wars movie alien planet creature.
Actually, I've long thought this about most bugs when seen highly magnified in macro photos. These creatures and their mostly invisible world is for many purposes an alien land inhabited by so many strange, alien creatures.
<Now that it's about the middle of my mid-winter macro photography downtime, I fear I am once again developing a "seasonal bug photography withdrawal" syndrome. My only hope is that people from milder climates keep posting their great macro photos!>

Thank you very much!
| seta666 wrote: | | What kind of Exposure times are you getting lets say with your mitutoyo 10 apo? |
It's in the 1/25-1/10 second range.

Definitely 
And I agree, the bug abstinence is not easy to deal with this time of year. I'm lucky Nikola took pity on me and posted me this =)
