It's been a while since I've shot a high-mag stack, and I just couldn't stand to let you other folks have all the fun.

I don't know what kind of fruit fly this is. It's a bit larger than the usual Drosophila and is fairly dark -- gives an impression of gray/black rather than the usual brown with red eyes. But with good illumination it has quite a bit of interesting detail. Shown here definitely brighter than life.
This will be a good test stack. Its many overlapping bristles provide great opportunities for visibility errors.
I'm a bit troubled by the appearance of the eyes in this image. In the original stack frames, it's very clear that there is a short thick bristle at every vertex between the ommatidia, over most of the forward-facing portion of the eye. But in the stacked composite, this fact almost gets lost, being visible only at the top and bottom of the foreground eye. For comparison, take a look at the background eye, seen here in profile.

Technical: Canon 300D with Nikon CF 10X NA 0.30 microscope objective at nominal extension, cropped to about 50% of field width, displayed here at exactly 50% of actual pixels. 167 frames brightness-balanced and registered with CombineZM, stacked with TuFuse, no manual touchup. Single flash illumination from above front, through 5 layers of tissue diffuser, with aluminum foil reflector below specimen.
