Been playing with an old (very old) monocular microscope and have added an adapter to my Nikon D500 camera to look at various parts of bees and pollen, isn't coming out too bad, very fiddly though!
In this photo you can see the little hooks (hamuli) that attach the two wings https://photos.app.goo.gl/TzWfZfwNDnB4g1yn7
Part of both wings can be seen here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6teqbxvdNZBCdAXP8
