I was able to <a href="http://swannman.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/closer/" rel="nofollow">get a little bit closer</a> using stacked lenses, too... but even in the shot above, I'm running up against the maximum resolution of my camera as well as the physics of diffraction.

I did not think it could be possible using only a macro lens. You can improve the image a little bit by scrubbing the die. I am sure that there is a little bit of microscope oil remaining which may cause some of the strange lighting artifacts. I usually clean the dies with Windex and then dry them with compressed air, but most other household glass cleaners will do. Hi Matt,
