Hey there Rick,
One of my digitals, a Pentax Optio WPi in it's macro mode can shoot at .9 cm. I use a free Google program called Picasa2 to tweek the results.
AND the camera is waterproof too.

I use a Nikon D70s with an f2.8 35-70mm lens. I set the fly about 18 inches to 24 inches away. They use Photoshop to crop and adjust lighting/contrast.

Hi, Rick. I use a digital Pentax WP in macro mode on auto-focus. For some reason the manual focus mode makes the images a little more grainy.
I got the camera because it's waterproof, not because it's a great camera for interior still shots but with a tripod, it's working out.
I manipulate the images with Adobe Photoshop or, if they're composed well enough, I sometimes just upload them directly to an album at [url=http://www.photosite.com:f032a]www.photosite.com[/url:f032a]
I hope this helps.
Rick,
I use a Nikon Cool Pix 4800. Tha camera focuses to less than 1/2 inch allowing even a size 22 fly to fill the frame nicely.
I don't tweak any of the pictures, but use them straight from the camera.
Like Diane said, use a tripod to steady the camera. Any movement at close focal ranges (like your heartbeat or breathing) will make your task much more difficult.
