I personally like the "turn on your charms and borrow one" advice from pants.
That could also work for borrowing access to one which worked for me.
Looking at his pictures you can see what to expect with the magnification you have.
That is the information I didn't find when needed.
Due to high local cost and low quality products I decided to pull it off with my own optics and photography.
A standard 100mm macro lens gives you 1:1 ratio and is hardly going to be enough, but it's much better than nothing.
The Canon lens MPE 65 is better with 5:1 from life size, but it will put you back by more than a $1000 and is difficult to use.
I also considered USB devices claiming 100X magnification, but that turned out to be white lies.
It's not 100X from life size but from much less than life size wide angle of the device.
There is a reason microscopes are out there.
I'd love to own a good one and will buy it used when I find it.
