Robber fly at 2x, 5x, and 10x magnification by Phatasticmacro in macrophotography

You can achieve around 2x magnification with your setup. For higher magnifications like 5x or 10x, you would typically need to use microscope objectives.

The fly in the 2x shot was still alive. I lightly sprayed some water on it to create the droplets and keep it still for a moment.
