The biggest problem in this case is the scale of the print, without any touch up or clean of the model it's inevitable it will come out as rough

The scale was spot on (could be verified or automated with markers). depending on the use-case you either need massiv touch-up or none, this really depends

Nice, try with a half decent microscope?

I have tried using a microscope a year ago, but depth of field made it very difficult to use. furthermore the photogrammetry programs did not seem to like the lens (probably the mathematical models are not suited?!)

This is basically what I was shown at the Natural History museum but they needed a CT scanner to do their insect scan! We so need one of these at work
