Getting better rail and lens

[clarnibass]

Hi

I've been using a macro lens with a ridiculous amount of extensions for years. The time has finally come to upgrade to a better setup.

I'm sure it's been asked before so if anyone can give links to this info I'd really appreciate it.

What I'm looking for is a microscope lens (not sure how it's called in English) that some people use for macro (in various magnifications), how to attach them to my Nikon cameras, and possibly getting an electronic rail if there's a good one. Right now I use my own made rail (after being disappointed with all the ones I tried) but an electronic one would hopefully make it much easier.

My budget for all of this is about $1,000 (+/- a couple of hundreds, but preferably less if possible).

Thanks!
