Peter, For a low-cost option the Olympus C5050 has excellent properties (for a camera with a built-in lens). It has a "super-macro" feature that works well. I take high resolution pictures of small fish (2 cm) and the image has flat, square graphics. The camera costs about 600$US. It is frequently bundled with microscope imaging and measurement systems due to its precision.
For high-end, I suggest putting a telecentric lens (e.g. Computar TEC series; TEC 55 etc. plus extenders) on any digital camera that can take interchangeable lenses. -Thom DeWitt ________________><()()(Â>________________ Dr. Thomas J.

I have a Nikon CoolPix 950 that takes excellent pictures, but has a resolution on the low side for publication. Thanks! Peter Uungar ------------------------------------------------------- Peter S.
