Many camera company's such as Canon, Nikon and Fuji make Macro lenses for such close up work, and then there's the Independent companies such as Sigma and Tamron who also make Macro lenses.

Canon do make the ultimate of all Macro lenes and thats the Canon MP-E 65mm Macro Lens which gives you a 1 to 5 times maginication, but there are other alternatives such as Extension Tubes and they all vary in sizes and probably the most popular make are the Kenko series, these are fully automatic but it is advised to set the lens/camera to manual focus and then careful focusing is needed. It is also advised to use some flash as fill in.....

For the ultimate in detail there is such a way of capturing images at different focus points and then focus stacking these images for a better depth of focus. There is such a tools called CombineZM or Helican Focus Where CombineZM is free to use, Helican Focus has a subscription.
