If you don't have access to a camera that takes excellent close ups, try a 
flat bed scanner. Many people have been pleasantly surprised at how good of 
pictures a scanner will take.

Not a serious collector though I have bought a couple of micro specimens... 
Came to this list almost two years ago with a wrong I had owned for over 30 
years. Never had much hope it was real but the 0.0001% chance that it might 
be is why I held on to the huge ugly thing so long. Until I learned through 
research that cutting a window in a 'meteorite' does not destroy its value. 
At this point I went from 0.0001% maybe this thing is real to "Holy crap, I 
have the missing third mass of Estherville!"

Sadly a test proved otherwise... If you don't want to wait months for someone 
to test a piece of one of your specimens for free, you can pay a service $30 
and know the results in days. The one I used even returned my small sample 
despite my offer for him to keep it.
