<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3291683, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m at that age where my eyes can&#039;t really refocus -- but I&#039;m <i>really really</i> nearsighted, so the view I get by peering under my glasses is about what most young folks can do with the naked eye. I rarely use a loupe or magnifying glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m <i>considering</i> a USB microscope, because it makes it easy to capture images (even if they aren&#039;t great) and it&#039;s convenient for side-by-side comparisons.</p><p><br /></p><p>For actual photography, I use a Canon DSLR with the 100mm F/2.8 (non-L) macro on a copy-stand-type mount. I&#039;ve also got a set of extension tubes that give me a full field of view smaller than a trime. That&#039;s not <i>quite</i> pushing the limit of conventional optics, but it&#039;s more than enough for anything I&#039;ve wanted to do so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Okay, that&#039;s a lie; if it were cheap and easy, I&#039;d have an electron microscope. Heck, I&#039;d have an accelerator line and an X-ray microscopy setup.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
