K20D on M42 bellows, Nikon Plan Apo 4X microscope objective, all mounted on a Wild M20 microscope base (condenser, mirror, light etc removed from under the stage). Single Cactus R60 flash on wireless remote triggered from many different angles. I did a simple 5 file stack with light coming up diagonally from below, but didn't like the way it looked. This is a single file with light coming low across the stage rather than from below. It is cropped, amounting to about 1/4 to 1/5 of the original. The surface texture of some of the salt grains is in the plane of focus, but most of the cubes are not.
