Photomicrography means taking photographs through a microscope. It records objects too small to see with the naked eye, such as cells, crystals or tiny insects. A camera is attached to the microscope with an adapter, and the microscope's objective lens and other optics set the magnification.
It should not be confused with microphotography, which means making very small photographs, such as microfilm. For close-ups with ordinary lenses, see macro.
