Digital Cameras like the Nikon Coolpix 990, can have extensive Macro capabilities.

The Camera Lens provides some macro function.

The 2X Telephoto converter lens adds magnification.

Further magnification can be achieved Digitally.

It is highly desirable to have a digital camera with Macro features.

Extremely high magnifications may require the use of a tripod to steady the camera.

A flash or other light source may be needed to illuminate the subject.

The Nikon Coolpix 990 can be readily attached to a disecting scope if you have an Ocular that matches its lens threadsize or if you buy a microscope adapter from Nikon. Simply unite the Ocular and the Camera & insert it into the microscope. This is extremely convenient anywhere!

One of the most important benefits of Digital Cameras is the ability to preview and review your photos.

I have found that Digital Images require a fair amount of Image Processing to get a final picture.
