Hi,
OK, if everything is OK with the lighting, then I would check the rail.
1) Are the steps really as small as you want them to be?
2) Is the rail sufficiently well centred?
There is a long red artefact worm in the top right of photo 5x.

DOF depends on the NA (numerical aperture)
e.g.
NA=0.14 => DOF=0,028061mm
NA=0.28 => DOF=0,007015mm
NA=0.42 => DOF=0,003118mm
NA=0.55 => DOF=0,001818mm
NA=0.75 => DOF=0,000978mm

You should take at least one photo inside the DOF (I take 3 :-)

Hi Radek, In my opinion, the resolution is OK, but somehow the light does not come as desired. Could you post a picture of your setup? I usually use two cylinders, one on the lens and one around the subject: e.g. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=140151464300136&set=a.120670269581589 BTW, the dif...

a very friendly and competent person.
I will miss him.

Hello everyone, The scales of my new butterfly are beautifully coloured, but they are not on top of each other, but stand far apart. In some places they stand out really far. For this reason, in my opinion, it is very difficult to take photos of the structure of such scales at high magnification. e....

very nice

Marvellous
