Was thinking (That's dangerous for me.). Why couldn't one use toothpicks snapped in half and topped with different colored paper flags to designate the extent of a characteristic; i.e. the edge of hatched brood, the edge of eggs in the comb, the edge of cells partially filled with honey?
Jerry: "I want the camera setup that can image the cell contents of the entire face of a comb in one photo."
The only way I know how to do that is to use a camera with an excellent telephoto lens and position the camera a distance away from the frame and set on maximum telephoto setting. In that way, the greatest area of comb would still be within the focal range of the lens.
