Is there a way to reduce the minimum distance you can zoom into an object?

Since I have been working on a lot of detail lately I have wanted to get as close to objects as I can. As I zoom in very close the object cuts away (I see a cross section). I know that eventually this would happen when you pass through the object but it seems to be happening far to soon.

I have also noticed that I can get much closer to objects in an orthogonal view as compared to the perspective view.

Are there preferences I can adjust somewhere so my perspective can zoom in closer? I have tried looking around but have come up empty. Thank you.
