Not silly at all, but very interesting

I found an old slide holder too, but I have to find/figure out a diffuser for it still. When I manage that and 1.6:1 magnification on my 1.6x crop camera, I will show it to you too!

 

Thanks for sharing, a really nice setup.

 

I also have a microscope adapter made from the outer part of developed super 8 film cartridges (basically plastic rings) that mounts on the bayonette ring of a 55mm macro lens (yeah, old FD lens days) and fits over the eye-piece of a microscope. Alas, it's "in storage" now, no pics.

 

I'm also tinkering with wide-angle macro, inspired by you, but lack of time haven't gotten me anywhere yet, it involves some DIY work as well.
