    Impressed by your microscope images - do you use your regular DLSR with a convertor on a trinocular microscope or is it through one of the regular oculars? Posted 5 years ago

      Thanks Arp!

      I use a Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro:

      It connects to my computer through the USB. It's not at all fancy, but it was a good price, lol.       Posted 5 years ago

          I'm afraid I still have a _lot_ of microscopes, lenses, adapters, light units etc etc that I all got cheap to tinker with and see if I can get good results, but no time for it and no budget to spare for new toys either I'm afraid ;o) Posted 5 years ago

        Not bad results at all Christine! I have an oldish similar thingy that was always a disappointment so never got much use (it cost me about 20 Euros at the time, that could have been better spent ;o)
        Good to see these things have improved over time, so thanks for answering!         Posted 5 years ago

          Thanks! It's definitely a good, *inexpensive* solution for digital microscopy. But, it makes me long for the days when I used fancy microscopes for work. Posted 5 years ago
