Pertinent technical details or techniques: D500, short mount 105mm f4 Micro-Nikkor on Pb-6 bellows (Iso 400, 1/100 sec. f18, Light provided by 3 flashes) 6 images stack with PMax, Levels, Brightness & Contrast).
Jenny purchased a Nikon bellows with a lens for my Xmas present. I think that this image reveals that the test was a success!! I used 3 flashes to light up the specimen and the raw files were about a third of a stop underexposed. The flash batteries were starting to run out of power.

This looks great, Jim. I used to use an Olympus short mount lens on a bellows and that combo makes for some wonderfully sharp highly magnified images. The details are terrific and your stack looks perfect.
