Still trying to get better at this. The first three are with the inexpensive 4X Amsco finite objective, the last one is with the also inexpensive 10X Amsco finite objective.

Wow, it doesn’t get better than that, Jack. Beautifully done.
Thank you Joe. I'm finding the hardest part right now is getting the lighting right.

Cleaning that face is no lark either. You have done both quite well.

BTW which focusing rail are you using?
Thanks Don. I'm using a WeMacro motorized rail for these shots. It was simple to set up and use, didn't even have to look at the instruction manual. I control it with my cell phone which is very convenient. I mount it on a very heavy old Bogen 3035 tripod fitted with a geared head and setting on a concrete floor. It's very solid.
I previously used a manual SWEBO L0.01 slider for these. It's an excellent manual slider but at 4X and more focus stacking becomes way too tedious. I still use it in the field for fine focusing but not for focus bracketing. For focus stacks in the 1X - 2X range I'm using a mirrorless camera with focus bracketing which works well for this purpose.

Very well done. The AmScope objectives get rave reviews for photomicroscopy. The 4X is a real rockstar for $25.00. Of course, it requires the use of a focus rail and focus-stacking for it has an NA of 0.10 which produces a depth of field of 0.055mm.
