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



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
