Macro at 18.2X

Ruler Image with Flash at 11.2X
This was a "less than acceptable stack" captured with flash.  Part of the problem was the inconsistency of the flash but the worse problem was the the camera was not set up with the sensor parallel to the ruler. This demanded a deeper stack.

Shell Camera Setup
I try a lot of things that don't work of which this was one.  I looking for a flat subject but this was not flat.  I thought maybe a part of it would be flat enough.  It was not.

The image below was captured with the Sigma 10mm to 20mm (closeup filter) set at 10mm.  This yielding 18.2X on the sensor.

Unknown Mushroom Spores at f3/5 and 18.2X
This stack was shot with the CamRanger set to step "large."  That is a large step for f/3.5.  Please not the beginnings of vignetting.  The spores are on a microscope slide, therefore it is flat.  I want to try "medium" step and maybe "small", also.
