iphone 13 pro max for microscopic images

After spending hours trying to figure how to take microscopic pictures with my iphone 13 pro max, I figured that using "portrait mode" works best. I saw this question during my search so I thought I'd post this solution to help others.

Portrait mode & Nature I've got an iPhone 14 Pro and have started to experiment with portrait mode. For example, I took a picture of a wild rose bush, mostly just stems & bright red berries at this time of year. But portrait mode behaves more or less as it did on previous phones: it dissolves parts of the subject. In particular, it blurred out some of the connecting stems. So, these pictures are useless. I tried experimenting with the f stop setting, but I got very strange results (eg leaf in focus when shutter clicked, but resulting picture has a very out of focus leaf). I get that part of this is imaging and part is computation. What I want to know is, can this work the way I want it to? In this image, the top part of the plant is pretty well represented (not perfect if you look closely) but the bottom part is a disaster.
