Impressive - especially with 103 images. Do you use a machine or some automated method to accomplish that? I'm lucky if I can get 4 to 6 stacks to look good. The ant looks mean and reminds me of some kind of monster or alien creature. That's what so cool about this kind of work.

Thanks Steven,
Nothing automated.  I use a Hejnar 25mm micro-adjustable focus rail.  Just turn the knob bit by bit.
