This is a great macro ! Wondering what kind of equipment & lens you used ? Thanks!

Thanks for the interest Eduard. I used a Nikon 60mm micro lens on macro bellows, with a Nikon 300D body the other end. The specimen was placed in a light tent. For the lighting I use three elinchrom 400 heads with soft boxes and sheets of soft frost to further damp down the light placed outside of the tent one at the top looking down and the other two placed either side of the light tent looking in.This specimen was shot at f5.6 on bulb. It is a stack of about 80 shots using an electronically controlled stackshot platform, the images were then combined in a dedicated stacking software suite,PP was done using a Wacom intuos 5 pen and tablet in Lightroom 5 and then finished and sharpened in PS CS 5. It all sounds a bit long winded because it is :) Cheers.
