After posting this, and pondering the idea that macro just doesn't go
micro enough, I did some digging and found this product:

Now that I think about it, Andy, is there a rather portable, more
microscopic, attachment/lens you could possibly use in the field?

Confused by the "super macro" setting, but it's likely proprietary. Nice vivid colors, it almost looks underwater.
The "macro" setting allows focus to a few inches, while the "super-macro" setting can have the subject very nearly touching the lens front element. The subject insect is less than one inch long. And I can re-photograph a color transparency, on a light-box, almost full size - which is a really useful way of digitising my 35mm material - see my orchid photos, taken from transparencies re-photographed on a light-box by the same camera - http://www.flickr.com/photos/danmdan/sets/72157624652147959/
