  Yeah ! Thanks a lot everyone !
  @monoflow I think you can adapt the concept to any close-up lens, as long as you re-determine the distance with the cigarette paper. And rater is right (but he's cheating because he's also an oceanographer ahahah ). The are from the Calanus family of copepods (extremely important for the carnivorous food web). @eggzakly I could give it to you, but I would advise you to make the cigarette paper measurement, so that you can adapt the distance with your own frame/camera...

  If you're working with diopters/close up lenses, you don't really need to go through the cigarette paper focusing trick. The number on the diopter tells its strength, the focus distance for one particular strength is always the same as long as you set the camera to focus on infinity. This is the table:
  +1 Diopter will focus at 1 meter (3' 3")
  +2 Diopter will focus at 0.5 meter (19.5")
  +3 Diopter will focus at 0.333 meter (13")
  +4 Diopter will focus at 0.25 meter (9 7/8")
  +5 Diopter will focus at 0.20 meter (7 7/8")
  +10 Diopter will focus at 0.10 meter (3 15/16")
  I normally use a tape measure or a piece of string, but your frame would just make composing the picture a lot easier! :)
