And now for something completely different....

First of all let me say that Helicon Focus is an amazing tool! And the tech support and customer service (Danylo) is also great.
Looking over the forums I see lots of very nice images of various insects. But I use Helicon Focus for another purpose. I build and photograph miniature models.
Here are some of my initial experiments with Helicon Focus. Using it I discovered a limitation of my camera (Nikon Coolpix 8700). It focuses using a stepper motor. At extreme closeups the focus steps are quite large. So even with the smallest apperture I end up with areas which are slightly out of focus after combining the images. But to me this is still so much better than a photo with a just single focal point.
Here is one of my models. Due to my camera's limitation I use a stack of only 5 images.
One image is attached. Other (larger) image are viewable at:
