It's a Small World

You can used extension tubes with a normal lens for macro photography, but if you already have a macro lens and use it with a couple of extension tubes then you get some larger than life shots. The largest of these cups is probably less than 3 millimetres diameter and the shot is not cropped. Focus stacking becomes essential as the depth of field of each layer is a fraction of a millimetre.

Specimen was captured in July 1996 in the Ardennes region, France.

I've used the focus-stack technique, DIY hardware only (a Raspberry HQ cam controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3, an old Pentax-m 50mm f1.7 lens, some extension tubes, and a $30 linear rail from Aliexpress)
