I want to do something similar to this but with micro minerals, Carl Hennig's artical July 2014 went a long way to puting me on the right path, only need to figure out how to capture more light

Can you elaborate a bit on what you intend to do, please? Subject to being corrected, I think Hennig used transmitted light and thin rock sections (which pass light). These "extreme macro" insect images are taken with incident light (flash?) and, it appears a microscope objective fitted to a DSLR camera (Jan l'Amie kindly correct me).
