On my travels around the internet looking for macro photography resources, I found this site:

http://www.extreme-macro.co.uk/

It's a great place for tips and guides as well as advice on equipment and how to do extreme macro on a tight budget.

Well worth a look.

If you are looking to take photos using a microscope (rather than a camera) this company has some useful kit suitable for hobbyists.
