It is of course throught the microscope, and I used a light dome (an old IKEA lamp in which I put stripes of LED lights, so I get a very soft diffused light) and then I took 10 pics which I combined with the free program CombineZ5, so I get nearly everything in focus... takes a bit of effort, but I like the results... especially when you take pics of shiny insects, it helps a lot, no reflections, and the microstructure is clearly visible...
