Indeed -- excellent not just as specimen shots but as compositions. Excellent soft lighting too.

Yes the first shot is amazing! The color and detail is perfect. And it looks like from the lens combo quite an engineering feat as well.

Wow, gorgeous images! The first most especially is special. Great depth of field and the pastel blue is gorgeous. Your method is interesting. I have never tried anything like that. Thank you for sharing!

You won't get much more detail than what was displayed in these shots.

Some of your best shots! Very nice work!
Regards!

Much appreciated, Tess... It's fun to play with these stacked lenses. At least I think it is...

Great photos, and different to the sometimes harsh lighting that I see in a lot of macro shots, including my own.
