How much of a crop was this, Scott?
Considered retrieving the highlights?
I see there is a critical focus issue.

How big (or tiny) are these?

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Shooting at 1:1 on a crop cam with an older manual focus macro lens. Cropped about an additional 50% in post. The largest ones are about 2mm in length. Short of stacking, trying to get the entire group in focus is difficult and they do move, making stacking iffy as well. I use an older ring/point light and I deliberately tamp down the highlights so as to contain hotspots...
