@grepper and @KnifeGrinders: Thanks for the kind words.
My metallurgical microscope is an AmScope ME580T-PZ-2L. I'm quite pleased with its quality, optically and mechanically.
For these images, I used diffused external side lighting only. The composite images are the result of focus stacking approximately 150 micrographs using Helicon Focus. Final sharpening was done using Topaz Sharpen AI.
Here's the same region (blade B, site 4) at maximum magnification:
