<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 947794, member: 24633&quot;]Does your camera have a fixed lens with zoom capability? Or, can you interchange lenses?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If it is a fixed lens with zoom capability, about the best you can hope for is to use the super macro setting and, possibly, a loupe in front of the lens. The drawback to this is that oftentimes the photos will come out blurry or poorly illuminated because you have to place the lens fairly close to the subject for the loupe to be of any use. If you can interchange lenses, then you would want to use a dedicated macro lens and possibly extension tubes or magnification rings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some others, myself included, prefer to use a stereomicroscope for super close-ups, but this can get a little pricey. There are a lot of stereomicroscopes available on the internet, but the cheaper ones are either limited in performance or cheaply made in China. The photos below were taken with a USB-compatible stereomicroscope with zoom capability and a flexcam attached to one of the eyepieces.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
