Return to Question

Restated title as a question, um->µm, because I'm a nitpicker. :)

How todo I calculate how far a macro rail should needs to travel between shots for macro focus stacking?

I recently purchased a StackShot automated focus rail. The unit of travel for the rail is measure in umµm. Is there a formula where I can enter in X Y and Z to get the amount of umµm the rail should travel between each shot so I only slightly overlap for each depth of field slice?

Current set up is 60mm macro lens with Kenko Auto Extension Tubes (12, 20, & 36).
