If you've seen a photo of an insect head, all in focus, tiny hairs and
all, that was likely done via a process called stacking. Dozens to
hundreds of photos are taken, with the camera incremented a
predetermined distance between each shot. Software does some sort of
magic and builds a single photo combining what it determines are the
in focus portions of each frame.
