Very clean! The image, not the bug. Such a strange comment from you, you have always gotten great macro images. Did you hook up an objective? What was the combination? Amazing detail man!so now that i can get a macro image, how do i clean my subjects before shooting them?

Should have used the concave diffusers, too much specular.
May is quarterly mortgage insurance and personal prop tax so it'll be a couple months before i can resume my quest for a 10x microscope objective lens.

insect must have been larger than I thought. It looked greater than 3:1 to me. Even with the negative issues about the light, the clarity seems super nice.
About cleaning, might consider dipping the insect into an ultrasonic cleaner. I imagine how long you leave it in would be a factor, it certainly could destroy a specimen, but I bet it works.
I've been meaning to try this (I got one very cheaply on e-bay), but it is put away right now until our major kitchen remodel effort is complete.
It will be a couple of months, but I promise to find a dirty subject and do a before and after stack to see what happens.
