This is the face of a green bottle fly that I keep in the freezer. I staged it for a focus stacking session using a reverse-mounted 28mm enlarger lens mounted onto a reverse-mounted Raynox DCR150 on fully extended bellows.

Thanks, Longshadow. The optics and bellow extension resulted in 7.5X magnification filling the frame of the APS-C sensor camera.

Thanks, UTMike. It won't be long and fly season will be over. I have a few that I preserved this summer to stage during the long winter months.

Thanks, Kpmac. Yes, I saw the black ant's entry in Nikon's Small World. This is one of my preserved black carpenter ants that I posted in June that I staged with the same 28mm enlarger lens setup.

Considering the complexity of the multi signals from the Fly Eye !!!
Well, I wonder, does it think about what it sees in JPEG or RAW?

Thank you for mentioning "Nikon's Small World."
