For objectives up to 20X I pile everything on a long Arca-Swiss plate. An articulated arm positions a two-axis stage with a binder clip holding the subject. The macro rail holds supports for the tube lens made from a +4 diopter close-up lens and M58 extensions lined with black flocking. There's a rotatable linear polarizer behind the objective and the strobes are covered with cross-polarizing sheet filters.

Scarodactyl posted:That's a beautiful setup! I've seen similar table-mounted but not on a tripod before. Does that help with positioning? Thanks! I stuck with the tripod because it allows tilting the camera while keeping the subject upright, and the ball head can clamp anywhere on the plate to keep it balanced.   jarlywarly posted:Does the lighting moving with the rail not affect things for your stacks? Moving lights with the camera seemed weird at first, but it works fine as long as they don't bump the subject. Maybe it even smooths out specular highlights a little.
