Basically, this is a view of the proboscis and "pedipalp" area just off the face of a non-blood sucking mosquito. Yes, some mosquitoes drink nectar...including this one. Image is of an area just over 1mm in width. Focus stack of 200+ images - around 9x magnification
Olympus EM1 Mark 2, Olympus MC-20 teleconverter, Pixco 16mm extension tube, Olympus 60mm macro lens and Raynox 505
F5.6, ISO64, focus bracket mode 1/10, GODOX 126 LED constant light





Here's an image of it in my hand showing it's size,

This is a vry nice stack! I like it very much maybe the very deep shadows on the bottom and the highlights on the lighter colored regions of a few scales are a bit too strong but I don't really feel this critique justified.

Amazing quality for such a magnification! Ok it's a picture made with a studio equipment but you've still my deep respect for this! Details which we would never see with our eyes. Thanks for sharing this great stack with us.

Yes
You can do it if you use two 10mm Pixco brand (only Pixco brand) extension tubes between the teleconverter and the 60mm macro lens or, use a single 16mm Pixco brand extension tube that you scrape a little bit of the plastic on the inside of it out. Maybe 1mm all the way around the inside so that the teleconverter lens can fit inside

I have used the same setup in the field as it's pretty water and dust-proof. No rail as everything was done with focus bracketing. Olympus rules the macro world in my opinion for ease of use. Trying to prove to folks that Micro 4/3 is still relevant
