This is my preserved mantis nymph that was gifted to me in August last year and I wanted to see how it was holding up which allowed me to stage it for a focused stacking session.

This session was staged using a 5X microscope objective as the optic for the camera and mounted on a bellow to the required distance of extension for the finite style objective.
