Micro Photography

 

Micro photography refers to photomicroscopy and usually there will be no lens on the camera, just a converter as shown in the picture below. There is often confusion between macro and micro photography because camera manufacturers sell macro lenses ( which by definition can reproduce an image at least 1:1 ie a 15mm apple pip would be 15mm on the camera's sensor)under the name of both macro and micro lenses.

 

The eyepieces are redundent in this application.

The camera is attached by a microscope adapter,

which in essence is just a hollow tube.

It can be moved up or down to achieve focus.
