Wow.  That's an impressive looking rig!

Regarding use of and placement of a teleconverter, I think experimentation is the only way to go, especially since the experiments are easy and can be fun...

You don't see kit like yours very often, partially because, I suspect, many people use microscope objectives for higher magnification work.  For example, I use a 10x objective and my existing lenses as a tube lens, either my 100mm macro or my 55-250 telezoom.  I can also do my pics for focus stacking using the internal focusing motors of my "tube" lens and the in camera focus bracketing function of my camera.  Whether this sacrifices resolution or creates other issues I can't say because I haven't compared.  I'm sure others will comment, since they always do...

You might also consider whether reversing your lens would improve results at higher magnification, if you care.
