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.

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.
