I found a small flashlight and braced it upright and it's just the right size to put the glass on. This seems to be working well. The lightbox had, I think, too much light area. The flashlight has a narrow beam that I can control more easily. Thanks again for the tip.

I'm a bit of a flashaholic so it was the first thing to come to mind .
as for DOF , aperture F-stop ...
Try more light , I know to the naked eye it might look like too much , but once you start to close the aperture you should be able to control the amount of light ( too much light = use smaller aperture )
Im going to try this , looks interesting .. But maybe with a emerald or ruby or something ....
Would love to see more pictures :
