Alex It looks like you have become very practiced with this setup. Some greats shots. It's a good way to make a cheap and effective microscope. Like Harry (Wolfie) I too dabbled with it in the past. The short working distance, focusing and getting light on the subject makes everything tricky. But it seems that you have persevered to good effect. I taped two lens together for this posting of text on the end of a 4mm x 4mm block of metal. An example showing the craftmanship of Monotype in the Hotmetal printing era.
