Actually, most of them are in focus, but, the DOF is so short that they appear to be out-of-focus.

That's the trick. I like to try to capture three dimensional things. Ther will usually be a range where things are in focus. Sometimes, you have to use the out-of-focus places to frame what is in focus. It's almost like saying, "...and so forth."

Yes, but there are stacking programs for microscopic photography.
When used, the photos can be absolutely amazing in clarity and detail. Far beyond the macro seen at UHH.

I tried a stacking app. I'm just not disciplined enough to use it.

I had a friend with a scope, microscopic capability direct to a beefed up, designated computer to handle the program.
A large splurge, would not disclose price.
First we built a table with three inch pipe legs, thru the out building's floor and poured in concrete in the ground.
A top, 3x4 feet by 4 inches thick of concrete and crushed quartz (better bonding, no fracturing) was formed and poured in place.
Troweled to an almost mirror finish and sealed. He was a Mason, he did that part.
It took all that to get started.
Needless to say, not much vibration, except the day of the earthquake.
His insect work was a ten, very professional, and he was a 'hobbyist'.
Enjoyed your presentation. Thank you.

Yeah. I met some guys who are incredible technicians and do things like that. I'm 80 yearso old and live in a basement room. I couldn't even dream of that k0ind of thing when no I was 30.
