Who uses macro photography?

As some of you know, I’m currently writing a book about macro photography. As part of this, I’m writing an appendix on the commercial uses of macro, only to realise that I don’t know that many professions that use macro- and micro photography as part of their everyday life.

So… I’m turning to you, my faithful and lovely readers, to appeal to your wisdom. Can you think of any fields where macro photography is used regularly?

I’ve come up with the following:

  • Forensics
  • Research science
  • Food photography
  • Jewelry catalogues

… What else can you think of? Pretty please leave a comment — you can be anonymous if you want to!
