I guess you use natural light for your uses,

Correct.

and, of course, constant stidio lights would also work. However, Im curious about the application of flash with this method. Would have to figure out how to sync flash which would be difficult, if not impossible.

I think you need a continuous light source. You might want to look at the work of Achim Kluck who uses this technique for invertebrates, including some rather small ones. For some he uses natural light, for others he uses an LED light. (He also uses focus bracketing and single images, so you may have to look around a bit to find the video stacks, like this one for example, which used natural light. All of the recent ones I just looked at used natural light, so you may have to go back a while to find some LED light examples.)
