Take that photo of Crappie's eye and blow it up on your computer. 
Zoom way in. See where one of his lashes meets the eyelid? I need to 
see objects that size blown up, oh, so it will fill... 1/10 the 
viewfinder would be OK.

These subjects will be suspended in water in a flask, so focusing 
distance >0 is important, too.

The suggestion of Wayne's to use a small telescope might be one solution.

All the microscopes I've seen so far expect the object to be a mm or 
2 in front of the lens. No can do...

I looked at macro lenses for my digicam but they are available in, at 
most, 10x. I probably need 200x to 500x, or so.

Still looking...

Thanks,
