Crimping beads and thimble

Macro Mondays My Closest theme.

 

Crimping beads and cable thimble from my wife's jewelry making supplies sitting on a stainless steel ruler with millimetre markings. The tubes at the end of the thimble are about 1 mm in diameter.

 

Fujifilm X-A1 with Minolta MC Rokkor-QF Macro 50mm f/3.5 at f/8 mounted in reversed orientation on a Minolta Autobellows III at full extension (165 mm) giving a magnification of about 3.5:1. The width of the image at the focal plane is just under 7 mm.

 

Lit with a Nikon SB-26 at 1/2 power at camera left (8 o'clock, 29cm away) and a Braun Hobby 17BC at camera right (4 o'clock, 40 cm away).

 

Focus stack of 9 images using ImageJ2 software (StackReg and Extended Depth of Field plugins).
