Aphids on hibiscus. All shots focus stacked using zerene. High mag shots taken hand held using my 10X microscope objective rig. Certainly not perfect but interesting none the less.

Hi Brian,

Can you explain how you build this rig?
It looks like extension tubes with a cap on it and on the cap mounted the microscope 10?

Regards,
Ruud

Ruud - that's exactly what it is. The cap is a camera body cap. You can get neater looking set ups using an M42 to RMS cone and an m42 to your camera adapter. eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RMS-Thread-to-M42-Adapter-for-microscope-objective-cone-/201023778843

Terrific set Brian. I don't think I've ever seen a microscope lens directly mounted before.

Thanks all for the comments - appreciated

Must admit the setup does look a bit odd but it works.

Ruud- it's an old Baker 10X objective from a student type microscope I have. Rather like a normal lens you can vary the magnification by changing the length of tube it's attached to.
I should add I'm a total amateur at this type of thing - the real experts hang out on this forum http://photomacrography.net/forum/
