<\/a>\nJapanese Banknote at 35 × Magnification<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A couple of months ago I posted about basics of reverse-lens Macro\nphotography<\/a>, where I showed<\/span> some items photographed with some\nmagnification that is considered fairly extreme by macro-photography\nstandards. I threw<\/span> around “true but misleading” big numbers like “45,000\n×” in jest, but in the normal nomenclature of macro photography where\nmagnification is represented by the relative size of the object to its\nprojection on the film or digital sensor, the photographs in that post were\njust a bit<\/span> less than 3 × magnification. Pretty strong stuff.<\/p>\n\n

I later posted an example at 5 × magnification<\/a>,\nmaking the edge of a compact<\/span>-flash memory card look like a cheese<\/span>\ngrater.<\/p>\n\n

In today's post, macro images are at a ridiculous<\/span> 34.7 ×<\/b> magnification.<\/p>\n\n
