How to get really high magnifications

In the next few months I will be uploading selected chapters from "Science for the Curious Photographer" in hopes of getting some feedback.  Today I am making available Chapter 12 on close-up photography for viewing by means of a pdf file.  This chapter contains equations and discussion that would be appropriate for an advanced course on photography.  It can be accessed by clicking the title:

I would be delighted to learn of errors or of differences of opinion about my conclusions.

I first found a chapter from your book on Luminous Landscape and have now looked at high magnification. I encourage you to have your book published. I found the discussion of the technical concepts thorough and surprisingly easy to understand, especially given that I have no technical background.
