Most any recent interchangeable camera body will do the job. If you want new, and can find the body only in stock somewhere, Canon R7 is only $1500 and has 32 megapixels on a 1.6 crop sensor.

Focus stacking should be used for anything near 1:1 or greater.

I would recommend a Laowa 100 mm 2X Macro lens and a motorized rail.

Beyond 2X, I use a 2.5-5X Ultra Macro, or a Mituyo 10X + Raynox Tube Lens.

I mount Camera, Focus Rail, Subject Stage, Lighting Globe and Lights on a single frame.

To cope with traffic induced vibrations, the whole rig is hung from 4 long bungee cords.
