Ok, this is my first attempt at focus stacking a jumping spider!
The problem was of course he wanted to do a runner, anyway I only got four shots out of six before he disappeared, unfortunately a couple of his legs got slightly damaged (poor thing)
He moved so I couldn't get the first and last image aligned, so the front leg and his rear are blurred!
He was only 5-6mm long, so minuscule. Stacked in CS6.
Nothing great, but the principle is tested, I have another spider who is a bit lively, so I'll let him quieten down and try again tomorrow, hopefully I will be able to get a ten stack image.
Shot with the Sigma 150mm macro+ 36mm extension tube at F8 (softens too much at F11) 1/250thy sec.
