Have you looked into 3D printed adaptors? You could try searching thingiverse (a repository for printable models) for your microscope model to see if someone has made one. It might be a cheap and easy solution.

Nancy Reading wrote: I'm dusting off my physics A level here, but the problem is that the final image in the trinocular tube is a virtual one down inside the tube, so it need to be converted to one focused at infinity, so our eye or a camera can see it. There is also some colour correction (different wavelengths bend at different angles). I don't mind buying another standard eyepiece, or equivalent (maybe £50 as an early christmas present to myself) but another £200 gets a bit extravagant really since this is a toy for me and I have plenty that I should be spending my pocket money on.

Thank you for starting this topic!

So I still need to devise a holder for the phone; we've worked out that it has a timer function on the 'shutter' to avoid any camera shake in future. I also need to be able to upload the photos, which ought to be a matter of finding the right lead, so hopefully not insurmountable.
The highest magnification objective lens, is an oil immersion lens, and I didn't have a chance toplayuse this again today. The objectives I have don't seem to be very close in focus when swapping from one to another (I wonder if it's to do with D plan and plan objectives?) so going to the highest magnification is a bit trickier.

Alternatively, you could send the photo via a "message" to another party who has in internet-connected phone.....and THEY could EMail it back to your Email address where you could download it to your computer. Good luck!

Life on a farm is a school of patience; you can't hurry the crops or make an ox in two days.

The main problem I had was I could not find anyone local to talk to about what I was seeing with the microscope. But I did learn how to make the bacteria explode in numbers.

I'm planning on trying to interpret soil results as well as do fecal exams for my fowl.
I was wondering if you had any further recommendations of resources that teach you how to use a microscope to its full capacity? I've scoured the previous replies and am going to start looking deeper into each of them.

Oh my, this is a hoot. I hope you get a lot out of it because honestly, this is so far into the "yeah, I take this stuff seriously" category that you should be given an honorary degree in soil biology or something.
If you get a camera hooked up, I'll be the first to sign up for a subscription to the dirt bug channel.
