Or bellows with an enlargerlens like the Focotar 50 mounted on it. You can also try a Summicron-R 50mm on a macro-adapter and/or fitted with an Elpro #1 Use a macro stand to mount the camera-combination. Illumination: depents on the objekts surface and structure: Maybe a ringflash or maybe beter two flashguns.
