Microphotography, Isophotography, Megaphotography

Abstract

I HAVE read with much interest your article on microphotography (p. 4) at its best. Possibly some of your photographer readers may be glad to know that microphotography of sorts is within the reach of all who possess a microscope with suitable substage-condenser and a camera. The results may not compete with the best, but they are very useful. I find that any transparent object which can be conveniently seen in the microscope can be reproduced in the camera. If the fine adjustment is good enough for ordinary work, it is good enough for photographic work.
