That's getting small! It also clearly shows the narrow DOF on the curved tape. About as wide as one of the lines.
Impressive! Stack some more micro bugs! Got a mite? I can send you a varrora destructor when I check the bees next.

I guess if we take sensor size (35mm) and divide that by around 1.6 plus mm (which I think is a little larger than 1/16 inch), then the answer is around 20.. yep, need that micrometer to avoid all the rounding and fudging.

LOL, have not found a mite at the moment. Probably next on the chopping block is another attempt at spider fangs or such. I've found numerous molts in the shed yesterday and put them in a glass jar for safe keeping.
I had to look up Varrora Destructor. At first I thought it was the name of a Klingon warship. If you find some and want a stack I would be honored to do so.
I find myself wondering how much image quality I would lose if I threw a 1.4 extender onto things (or if it would even work). I imagine that working distance would just keep shrinking, it is under 1/2 inch now I think... anyway, one thing at a time.
