But should I start injecting microscopy into this group?
Yes you should :) I enjoy seeing the world at that scale. My local
camera shop's secondhand page says they have a Pentax microscope
adaptor in stock... if I had a microscope I'd buy it!
Anyway here goes:

this is a stack of 52 images in 2 um steps taken at about 450X
under phase contrast. The object is the Lorica (siliceous skeleton)
of a small aquatic protist -- the name of which escapes me for the
moment but is irrelevant anyway. This is a good example of how well
CombZ does it's job. The depth of focus obtained is about 100
micrometres.
Nice pic... it looks like a brooch. And I thought handheld macro at
f/2.8-f/4 was difficult due to limited DOF.
