By attaching a macro lens to an interchangeable lens camera, you can take close-up shots of your subject. With a typical macro lens, there is a limit to the size of objects that can be photographed, such as the face of an insect, or the stamens and stamens of a flower. Requires an expensive macro lens. However, high-magnification macro lenses that can also be used to photograph ``IC chip circuits'' tend to be expensive. Therefore, Mr. Niemchuk explains a method of attaching a ``microscope objective lens'' to the camera as a cheap alternative.

You can find objective lenses at low prices by searching online shops. For example, Mr. Niemchuk seems to have gotten the following objective lens from AliExpress.



A mount adapter is required to attach the objective lens to an interchangeable lens camera. Mr. Niemchuk created a mount adapter with a 3D printer using ` `Design data of mount adapter for objective lens '' published on the Internet.



The following shows how an objective lens is attached to an interchangeable lens camera via a mount adapter. Now you are ready to shoot.



When photographing a subject with an objective lens, you can only capture a portion of the subject, so you can take multiple pictures while moving the subject, and then stitch the pictures together to create a single picture.



Mr. Nyemchuk is said to be processing images by using the panoramic photography tool `` Hugin ''.



The completed photo is below. We were able to create ultra-high magnification images that are impossible with regular macro lenses.
