This is one of the Mantis sent to me by Bill (newtoyou) for my focus stacking sessions. This session is an experiment of lens on my mirrorless camera. I reverse mounted a 50mm enlarger lens and connected it to a 2X teleconverter with adapters to accept the Fujifilm X-mount camera flange. Lighting is constant diffused LED desk lamps and the black background is created simply by having nothing behind the subject to allow the light to fall off. The combination of lenses in series produces a flat depth of field so the point of focus is paper thin which is why there the focus falls off so quickly. This is a 357 image stack with camera movement of 30-microns per image. The stack of images was processed in Zerene Stacker PMax at 16-bit TIFF format. The stacked image is 140,632 Kb with each individual image size of 6,659 Kb (APS-C sensor camera JPEG Fine size mode).
As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

Cool -- I see another little mantis head in the center of his face!
