I am a Photographer who has recently discovered 
on the Web some very nice " Microscope Pictures " *
taken directly through the Microscope Eyepiece 
with a normal consumer Digital Camera.
* (Micscape Editor's note: refers to images by Micscape contributor Paul James.)

 
I have decided to make similar experiments with my
Canon G1 on a simple Microscope but I have been obliged 
to find, after many trials, a different " Technique" to 
take the pictures, with the Eyepiece removed

 
In the Gallery are exposed the first results of these 
experiments and new pictures will be added following
my progresses on the use of the Microscope 
and the related photography technique
