So I got my WeMacro rail and have done a couple of stacks, here's the first.
Using the Proxxon table vertically now with a mini ball head as vertical stage.
This bee is approx. 1 inch / 25mm so even using the 55 micro nikkor reversed on 200mm f4 only got me this

I like this image very much! The eye is way cool!
If you want to get closer you might look into the Pentax Q system. You can use the same lenses, with a cheap adapter. That will give you 12MP of the eye only. Or how about the Nikon 1? The Pentax Q has a crop factor of 4.5. I use this for my 2-4mm large amber inclusions. With a 5x objective the photographed field is like 1x1,5mm!
