Thanks for viewing and for asking for I enjoy sharing what I do and how I do it. This is my basic go-to table top macro/micro setup.

The camera is a Fujifilm X-T20 mirrorless APS-C 24mp sensor camera. I adapt it to fit Nikon F mount gear. The bellows is an old Novoflex which extends as well as moves forward and back. The lens that I most often use is a Nikon TM 5X-power measuring microscope objective which you can see is quite large.

The bellows is mounted on a manual screw turn macro rail that I use for rough adjustments. It and the rest of the gear is mounted on the digital motorized WeMacro focus rail that I control with a laptop PC.

This microscope objective has a 0.017mm depth of field so it is far less than the width of a hair shallow. I set the step distance at 10-micron for each shot so that there is no blur gap in the stack of images. This Yellow Jacket for example was 325 images for what you can see of it that is in focus. I process my stack of images in Zerene Stacker.

For staging the specimen I use a X/Y axis slide table used for a drill press or mill. On it I have a laboratory scissor jack that provides the Z axis to raise and lower the subject before the camera. I use three LED desk lamps that I diffuse in a variety of methods depending upon the needs of the subject. I light from left, right and above and I place a mirror under the specimen for the ones that are black to open up the shadows.
