Jewel wasp

A Jewel wasp visitor to some decaying wood. Taken with a 2X microscope lens on a sony A6000 handheld. Some of the shots are focus stacks.

Great stuff! I love these wasps, but they are often hyper-active.
To focus stack, do you use any special contraption? I have the Venus/Laowa 2.5-5x, and I just do it by nudging the rig by tiny increments.

No contraption, at high mags I rest the lens on my left hand and move the rig forward.
