DIY Automatic Macro Photography Rail - MKII

This is the second prototype of my DIY Macro Camera Rail; this is a mixture of repurposed hardware and some DIY. It essentially moves the camera in very small increments via a stepper motor and takes a picture at each position. Its all controlled over USB using some hardware and software I built myself.

 

The individual pictures are stacked together in software to obtain a sharp output image.
