  Best bet, Macro lens, or Micro lens. The lenses that naturalists use to
photograph insects. basically a telephoto with a minimum focusing distance of
less then inches and a good depth of field, which is lost with normal telephotos.
Telephoto's work okay, that's what a friend uses to shoot spiderwebs.

Now, I'm assuming because of your love of technology you bought a SLR manual
camera. If you bought a dinky automatic (So I perfer the flexibility of being
able to play with F.stops, shutter speed and focus, as well as being able to
remove the lense and basically take the thing apart with a screwdriver, not a
sledgehammer, molded plastic, gotta love it)

Anyway, with an automatic that has a zoom you should zoom in and focus close. for
single miniatures a flatbed scanner works fine.
