I did a bit of experimenting with my Silky Snail project last night, adjusting the lighting and trying to gain more DOF. It helps to take a photo side on just to make the subject area shorter.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I was trying to work out what lighting source you are using, fixed permanently on or heavily diffused manual flash, or maybe something else?
I just use the LED lamp that runs off my drill batteries. Low tech and a bit unwieldy but works well with this lens. The advantage over a flash is that I can adjust direction and intensity in real time through the view finder and it helps me to focus on things when it's dark.

@wild edges I like that and the thinking behind it, the ability to alter the brightness and get it just right before pressing the shutter is very useful.

DOF looks good for the side on shot and the hairs, for the best part, all look to be in focus.
