Are smaller pixels/sensors better for macro.

Did you notice the date of the post?

Good point.

"That was with a monochrome sensor." ;)

well did my final test 4x amscope microscope objective 20meg em12 fly head eye detail , sony a74 apsc mode 14 meg image. the sony absolutly destroyed the smaller sensor pixels on detail sharpness and contrast even magnifying it to suit the 20 meg file. then used the 10 x olympus objective pulled back to (6x aprox )the same framing as the 20 meg olympus image. the sony just didnt just destroy it, it abliterate the smaller pixels. its on another planet.

Ok whos in for the bomb shell ! what can produce the sharpest most detailed shot at 4x of the fly head identical objective and lighting

a6300 24 meg

a7iv crop mode 14 meg sensor

place your bets and then i will shoot the same with an olympus 10 x objective 😎😁

and the winner is .......................................................................... me of cause 😁😜

a74 crop mode 14 meg Vers a6300 24 meg 10x olympus microscope objective same dead fly 😒 he was alive but i acidently squashed him transfering him to the studio. at least he was still 🤨🙄 identical lighting and processing. and 100 images each stack. electronic shutter remote shutter control so no vibration at all.
the a74 is just an amazing camera 10 frames per second no blackout unlimited buffer took a fraction of the time to shoot the image compared to the a6300.
