This is my first attempt to use the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 lens with a Canon 2X III teleconverter. This is a focus stack of Plusiodonta compressipalpus. Stacked using Zerene. I wasn't sure how successful using the converter would be.

I find it very interesting - and I love the result -

I just wonder why there is detail on some scales and others nothing.

Probably mostly because of how Topaz Sharpen AI works. If it thinks the detail is unimportant, it squelches it. If it thinks it's important, it enhances it. I didn't play with the settings. It usually does a pretty good job of macro shots, though. This is my first time using it with a 10X image, though. The AI is probably not trained with this sort of photo.
