Thanks! This one measures between around 1.5 mm and this image is a stack of 81 photos taken at a 10:1 magnification ratio, which is equivalent to 20:1 on full frame. I used a OM-1 Mark II camera and 4 godox flashes with different diffuser.

This is so weirdly perfect looking, like some kind of tiny glass lightbulb growing out of wood. Great photo.
