Hi everyone! I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of years waiting until I could assemble a proper macro kit to get this stuff done. Here's a shot of an abalone shell, focus stacked and shot with a Tamron 90mm macro with some extension tubes for additional magnification. Magnification is about 1.75x. I think my Velbon has a broken gear on the inside as it skips a little. Anyway, I know there are a couple of errors in this but this is what I have so far. I have some scorpions I'll upload at a later date that I took for the California Academy of Sciences curator of arachnids.
Been reading here for a while, finally decided to post.

Welcome to posting! The images look great.
I would be interested to hear what you're seeing. Focus banding somewhere?

For whatever it's worth, errors are not immediately obvious.I know there are a couple of errors in this

Yeah, there are a number of regions with less than ideal focus in there. Nothing glaring at this resolution, but when viewed even at half the native resolution it's easily noticeable. Certainly due to user error vis a vis the rail I am using; it has a sticky spot once per rotation that I need to learn to accommodate. The scorpion was shot with a professional macro rail and is pixel-perfect at maximum size.
