Microscopic Photography using a MAC

Danegeld

Does anyone else have a problem finding an ocular platform (camera eyepiece for microscope, etc.) by which extreme microscopic close-ups can be taken? If you've figured out a way go take good close-up pics please share with me...

Thanks

I use a CoolPix adapter with a Nikon 990 on my B&L SZ setup. This works reasonably well, though at higher mags the depth of field is not that great. You have to be extremely careful with the focus to get a good image. I'm on another PC now so can't post pics but will post some if you are interested so you can see what this setup does.

Probably not exactly what you are talking about, but this photo was taken with a point n shoot camera. Using a magnifing glass sitting on 2 stacks of coins, the camera was on a cheap tripod, and 2 clamp on lights.
