As far as I remember, macrophotography means at least 1:1 macro ratio.
Microphotography means photography through a microscope - at least 10:1 ??

Zuiks,

The current TOPE has brought up a question in my head -- at what point does
normal become macro become micro?  Are there hard & fast rules for this?
I'd kind of assumed that the normal-macro transition happened when an image
was made at a magnification exceeding the closest focus of the lens being
used, with micro occurring somewhere way beyond that.

That's me -- Quantifying Dave.

TIA!

QD
