Hello all,
I'm looking for not so expensive binoculare microscope on ebay. So I could try and extract genitalia and take pictures. can you help with recommendation?
thanks


Although it is possibly easier to photograph genitalia using a microscope one can use a DSLR (without a microscope) with either stacked lenses, or reversed 50mm or 35mm or 28mm lenses on extension tubes or a bellows, or even a low power compound microscope objective.
Image quality is excellent. Depth of field is shallow so you may need to 'stack' images.
