Charisma,
You might check with a local university to see if they have a
metallurgy or material sciences program. These folks photograph
small stuff all the time and you might be able to hire a graduate
student to help you. You can also check electrical, chemical or
mechanical engineering departments, or physics and chemistry
programs. Most will be happy to show you what they do, gratis.
Where are you located?

borderline-to-microscopic, metallic or otherwise, and require a
microscope to be dealt with... but the camera also requires the
flexibility to be used on regular-sized objects. I am researching
Digital SLR cameras and various macro lens systems, but am really
unsure what it all means. I would love it if some actual
photographers who were used to working with macro photography
could recommend some systems? Also, we are not expert
photographers, so one with some automatic functionality would be
extremely helpful. Please respond to me directly, if possible.
Thanks in advance!

Your request for info brings up a few questions:
#1 What is your budget?
#2 Is the project short term or lomg term? (See question 1)
#3 Will any of the photgraphs be taken through the microscope?
