>I may have been the person who recommended the Nikon Coolpix 990. It does a >good job, including getting in close on specimens down to about 1 cm in >length. I'm not sure how well it will do with micro-mollusks. I've used a Coolpix 990 for 100s of pictures of micro-brachiopods with excellent results. The camera is mounted via a relay lens (expensive, ~500 U$) onto a c-mount of a Wild binocular scope. I've had no problems with distortion and have been able to produce publication-quality images. Volume is also no problem; I've shot more than 200 images in one evening.
