Thank you. Now I am slightly puzzled:

"He said he used a 45mm, ext. tubes 16+21+10+16+10mm"

I've been taught that if your extension tubes total more than the mm of the lens then the subject cannot be focused. 16+16+21+10+10 = 73mm of tubes. That Raynox lens in front must work magic.

I tested with small ca. 3mm uvarovit crystal grain. Orf to jpg, about same postprocessing, no cropping.

Ext. tubes 73mm+obj. 45mm, Focus stacked (2/10 difference) 18 photos



Added teleconverter:

MC14+ext73mm+obj45mm. Focus stacked (2/10 difference) 6 photos



Then added Raynox 250:

MC14+ext73mm+obj45mm+Raynox250. Focus stacked (2/10 difference) 17 photos



So the subject can be focused. Or did I miss something? Granularity is caused by tonemapping.
