Hello, Im new to photomicrography and am having difficulty finding out what equipment I need to get. Ideally I would like to have a set up with the micro objective on an attachment to my camera body / lens.
I have a canon eos 5d. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Will
Could someone advise please?

Will,
There are some examples of setups using finite and infinity-corrected microscope objectives in the FAQ.
Is this the type of setup you are considering?

There are many other examples on the forum, but the link above may provide some initial information.

Welcome, Will!
Craig linked you to an excellent thread. Another really useful thread is this one: http://photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2825 In this thread, be sure to check out the various links in Charlie's post at the end.
There is a ton of information in these links--don't be surprised if you spend a couple of weeks studying them--I know I would, and did a version of this when I first discovered this forum.
You'll find that you have quite a few choices--perhaps confusing at first, but less so, as you read through the experiences of others. After you check these links out, you'll probably have more specific questions--and this community will definitely help you answer them.
Cheers--and enjoy the ride!
