This weekend I was able to take some photos of minerals. I still try to define what is the reason that worsens my photos when I use x20 or more amplification.
I am really pleased with the results that I get with the x4 and with the x10 (despite being the x4 is an unmarked Chinese brand). But when I work with less than 2mm FOV the definition degrades a lot, and unfortunately many of the samples that I offer to photograph are very small.

degraded sharpness
Hi Soldevilla,
Your photography embodies my vision for my photomachrography. Wonderfull work.
I, too, have trouble with the 20x objective. Someone suggested that I switch from constant light to flash and I got a marked improvement. I set my flash at manual 1/16. The person said that this setup produces a very quick, 1/5000, light which freezes all movement.
Maybe, one day, I will be able to share my work with you.
Regards,
Larry
