Are you having trouble with thin specimens like paper money, leaves, that kind of thing? Go to the Dollar Store and pick up a photo frame, you should be able to easily find them in 8 x 10. You can now pin your specimen perfectly flat, so no more annoying shallow depth of field issues when shooting macro. I shot these with the Sony SEL30M35 with the Neewer macro ring lights, which lets me use the lights as a stand for the camera and lens and stay perfectly parallel to the sensor plane.
None of these are crops, they are either full-size as-is, or using precision digital zoom. I am actually surprised at the shots of the USPS money order security strip, you can clearly see the strip embedded into the paper.
