Amazing Eye Macros
“The eyes are the mirror of the soul” – says an old Yiddish proverb. And that’s true! But do animals have a soul? Look at their eye extreme close-ups and try to see one.
A close-up lens (or diopter) enables the camera to focus closer than it normally can. While stacking bunches of close-ups can give you some great shots with good magnification, stacking more than 2-3 lenses might not be really worth it.
There is a technique involving reversing a lens to gain magnification. It is sometimes even called “a poor man’s macro”. If you’re a happy camera owner and are interested in macro photography you might wanna check these books:

Electron Micrograph of Fly’s Eyes
A scanning electron micrograph of a close-up of a Drosophila fly’s eye. The structure of the eye, similar to many other insects, is termed a compound eye and is one of the most precise and ordered patterns in Biology.
Those things in their eyes looks like spear-heads! Have anyone of you tried touching fly’s eyes? You would probably start bleeding.
