I have also encountered these clusters of blurness. But atleast in my case (lucky?) they are in places where it is rather easy to mask & clone.

Wow, never encountered nor even thought about this case.I can't see any way to circumvent this other than a lot of editing in post.
So that begs the question...why not use tilt with your tech camera and stack those images with that additional DOF?I think there is no solution as it is an overlapping/parallax issue. As you move the focus plane, the element further away is obscured by the element above it. It is in a dead zone in regards to the motion needed to stack. As mristuccia sugeested, only a large DoF is going to get to that detail. One method may be combining a stack with an image with a large DoF for those areas that lose detail. Or simply shoot at a different angle which has no overlap.
I could be wrong, but in the example I posted, I don’t think it’s realistic to use tilt to solve the problem - the angle is simply too great.So that begs the question...why not use tilt with your tech camera and stack those images with that additional DOF?

Unfortunately not an option as the depth of focus here is measured in microns, not millimeters. Additionally you’d hit problems with diffraction.Wow, never encountered nor even thought about this case.
What about closing the diaphragm to the maximum allowed by the lens just to get enough DOF and thus data/texture out of this problematic point and then clone only that part into the stacked image?
Same here.I could be wrong, but in the example I posted, I don’t think it’s realistic to use tilt to solve the problem - the angle is simply too great.
Kind regards,

I just shoot one LCC at the end of the stack. Seems to work fine for me.What about LCC? Theoretically you should make one for every shot as focus changes. Do you just make one and call it a day or?
Great, I'll try that. I just need to get these Cambo Macro Adapters WRS-1010 and WRS-1017 so if anyone have them lying around and don't use them give me a shout!I just shoot one LCC at the end of the stack. Seems to work fine for me.
