You have good equipment. Now you need to adjust your technique.
1.) Shoot at or very near Minimum Focusing Distance, so you keep post processing cropping to a minimum;
2.) NEVER use aperture f/36 due to extreme "Small Aperture Diffraction"; Aperture f/16 should be your minimum aperture;
3.) I suggest ISO 200, as ISO 1000 introduces way too much digital noise;
4.) After above adjustments, select an appropriate shutter duration;
Exif image #1:

Exposure Time: 0.0020 s (1/500)
ISO equiv: 1000 = too high
Exposure Bias: none
