Russian Stamp
I ordered some adaptors for my Microscope Objective. They came from a company (RAF Camera) in Russia via Russian post. This is one of the stamps. Great company to deal with and came in a timely manor, early actually. Quality parts

Enlarger lens setup
This is my lens setup for the hard drive head shot. Lens is a Nikon Enlarger lens f/2.8 N model. It is mounted reversed on 105mm of extension tubes for 3.5:1 Magnification ratio. Camera is a Z6 II and mounted on a Stack shot 3x rail system. The dome on the front is just a Godox diffusor to help defuse the light. The specimen is sitting in the dome. The cables are control black and tethered orange. Flashes are Godox TT600 controlled by Godox XProN

Cutting, sawing dremen brute force. My stubbornness wone but I now hurt! Next time plumber!!!

Test shot - Railroad watch
I got a new 4x objective lens and was wondering if it was soft. The 1st shtowas of the butterfly lens and it was not as sharp as I expected. I took a series of shots of this Railroad watch you have seen before at 4x to test my solution. I shot them at 150mm, 160mm & 170mm. This is 160mm where the objective is suppose to be shot. This is a "Raw" shot no processing as you can see ghosting around the upper gears. I would not normally leave a shot like this or the dust and dirt on the gears. HAGD
