I just wanted to share that you can take a shot at photomicrography even on a very tight budget. Here are three pictures I took with my Pixel 2 and a $20 microscope from Amazon.

I am no photographer, so I am sure people who know more about it than me can take much better pictures. (And I'd love to see them!)

You can get very good results without any specialized equipment.

There are tricks by using reversed lenses. https://digital-photography-school.com/reverse-lens-macro-ph...
