A camera microscope ?
A camera microscope ?
This is not a microscope, but it works in a similar manner. I have found it easier to take photographs of spider palps directly via camera than through my Nikon SMZ-1. See my basic rig attached, its a bit primitive but does the job. I prepare the spider palp or other part under the SMZ and once attached to a microscope slide in the correct orientation I slide it into the slit on the side of the tube. The lens is a 24mm Nikkor reversed with lots of extension tubes and bellows. It is limited though as palps under 1mm long start to lack detail. I stack images for improved DOF. This was the first prototype, I have since altered it a little.
