Hi Alexandra,

shooting 4x5" using a microscope and microscope camera is one of my favourite ways to get to negatives for alternative processes. Examples here:https://www.flickr.com/photos/136145...57676072065411.
I use a Zeiss MC63 camera with 4x5" back and a great Prontor magnetic shutter.
A magnification of 20x is on the lower site, a 2.5 (e.g. a Plan 2.5/0.08) lens could be used.
It sure takes some effort to get all the parts you need...
Greetings
Jens

Great job ! I'll be following you in flickr, and asking...

Nice link !!!

Very complex works, some show combination of some fluorescence images and then focus stacking.

Also some captures seen in youtube are time lapse, one can see the different fluorescent channels, then focus stacking, and that for each frame of the movie, displaying cell division, etc.

This is digital advantage.

Anyway film captures have also a very special result.

Bernice, thanks for sharing that competition. Beautiful work there.
Here's an example of the look I'm working with these days
