I am using a tripod, ISO 125, focus peaking, F8 (seemed to be ideal for edge to edge resolution), fixed lighting, and 2 second self timer.

With F/8 indicated you already are deep in diffraction territory on a 40MP APS-C sensor and  effective aperture will be even worse. How much so depends on the actual magnification used. If the image has to be tack sharp, something around f/2.8 or maybe even f/4 effective is needed.
