The entire frame is about 9mm top to bottom; the inner, dark purple flower center is about 2.5mm across!
This is my second focus stacking macro attempt for the same type of flower. This time, I tried to get a better composition of the central part of the flower. I also used controlled flash lighting; f/16; (SB-800, 1/32 + 1/3 EV power, about 6" away, flip-down diffuser only; eBay 4-channel remote). The flash made the individual shots sharper. I used 25 shots, combined with CombineZX. Same 50mm reverse coupled to 90mm lenses as the other shot.

@lindseywilliams: It was not so difficult
since I had built a small, homemade rig that
holds the focus rail and with a (wobbly!)
bracket to hold the flash. Taking the
multiple pictures was just a matter of
shooting and turning the screw on the focus
rail a tiny bit. The CombineZX software is
so easy to use after you get the hang of it!
Highly recommended.
Thanks, all, for the MyWinner comments! I
really appreciate it.
@Cesar R.: Thanks for the invite; I will
add it there.
