Hi,

How many photo for your result, and for stack do you use

a micro rail? You have a great result

Thanks for share

There were 101 photos in the stack, but I think the first 8 or so were basically unused because my starting point was too close. I didn't use the calculator to determine the step size, which would have been 0.02mm by the calculator. I just guessed at 0.01mm. I used a StackShot rail drive by Zerene software. Illumination was by an LED household lamp so exposure time was 4 seconds per shot.
I tried doing a focus stack of some mold a similar way, and it didn't turn out because the mold moved around between frames. That was kind of interesting and surprising.
