Only if you're willing to shell out a very large amount of money on a microscope and attachment to stick your camera onto. I'm guessing that this wouldn't be practical/appealing as it would also prevent the use of live subjects.

You're doing very, very well if you can get 1:1, almost anything more than that is very specialist. Also bear in mind that even at 1:1, your depth of field is going to be exceptionally shallow (1-2mm?) even at very small apertures. Read the glossary I pointed you to in the other "hello" thread if you don't understand what I'm talking about.
