Wow that is very impressive, how do you take these pictures so close?
Must be expensive camera?

Manual focus is optional but macro mode is essential.
I have done this with an autofocus fujifilm and the results were not to bad (here is some dried blood).
I have a microscope at home a friend picked up at a charity thrift shop type thing for R50 (under $5).
Basically camera goes on tripod and microscope goes onto a table where the lens of the camera can be aligned to the lens of the microscope (close enough to just about touch).
Focus the subject on the microscope the usual way.
Put the camera by the lens of the microscope and then get it into focus on the subject (do not worry about alignment at this time to much).
Zoom the camera out all the way, get the circle of light into the centre of the camera then zoom the camera in to just about it's maximum.
Focus the shot, put the camera onto a 2 second delay and take the photo.
The above were taken using a Canon eos 550d with an 18-55mm lens (standard lens that comes with the camera).
Some pretty decent (and much nicer for colour) photos can be taken with an SLR using the stacked lens method.
Here is a photo of a pistil I took with this method last year:
EOS 550D with a 100mm macro lens and a reversed 18-55mm lens

Amazing shots... and +rep for the tutorial! I'm goin microscope hunting today!!
I got a usb camera microscope.
It works pretty well, for under $100. http://www.adafruit.com/products/636
And I love this gal, Ada. She graduated as an Electrical Engineer, but loved teaching, so started this site as tutorials.
And in just about 6 years she has gone big time profitable by selling the stuff she teaches about. I have some Arduino stuff from her, a temp probe for example.
She writes the control code and gives that away with the probe.
Here is some stuff from my camera microscope. I use it for harvest timing.

5megapixel is pretty good for an electronic microscope.
Someone gave me a 200x one but it is only 1megapixel (uselessly small images).
I can however get 18megapixel images of a single tricome in frame with my current setup
