[Woodcarver] micro-carving?

[Lloyd Smith]

When I was in Russia actually, in Kiev, in the Ukraine, about ten years we
visited a museum that had the most incredible carvings; these had to be
VIEWED under at least a 100 power microscope; they were carved using a
microscope, mostly on rubies or semiprecious stones talk about carving the
head of a pin

I just spoke with a gentleman interested in doing micro-carving. 

Knowing nothing about this myself, I'm leaning on you to help me help him.

 

First, what kind of wood is used for micro-carving?

 

Second, what tools are used for micro-carving and where can they be
purchased?

 

Thanks in advance!
