Macro photography using microscope objectives is a little bit more complicated that is with standard macro lenses. One of the main problems is lighting your subject when you only have a few millimeters of working space to play with. In this video I will show you all the tricks I use to get light into extremely tight places. It is not as hard as it sounds, and you don't need anything more than a single flash, some tinfoil, cardboard, and bendy arms.
Look at the image of the ant in this video's thumbnail... halfway up the ant's left mandible is a clearly visible mite. Without careful lighting, you would never see this amazing sight!
