1:1 creates a working field of 36x24mm I assume these negatives on disk are each at 1/4 or 1/8 of that. With Alex's reverse male to male ring adapter that can temporarily be mimicked by duck tap or folded magazine in tubular fashion and duck tap securing (If you are handy enough and know how to take care of lenses) with a 35mm, 28mm lens in reverse you can create a 2-3:1 ratio easily (The lower the focal length, the higher the magnification factor). Well if this is still not enough or you don't want the hassle of going through it but yet like to do it yourself, I would take it to local library and use their microfilm archive machine that can handle the level of needed magnification for sure, then take picture of the projected monitor. I have one of those working microscopes at home that make x2 and x4 life size magnification, good to see diamond, bug etc. If one has a T connector, that is another option. Not the best but still I have the feeling of "Did it myself". Of course the other suggestion by Duncan is the easiest one at a tiny price tag.
