I like optics. And fine mechanics. I come from astrophoto so the razor-thin dof in microscopy kills me. Lacking a proper camera accessory, i shoot with a mirrorless APS-C through the eyepiece (does this add magnification?). I’ll post details of the setup in the relevant section. Having great fun identifying protozoa.

Welcome!

Do post some images of your microscope and related stuff! Sounds interesting

Welcome ! I also came from decades of astrophotography and share your love of optics and mechanics. At least there will be no cloudy nights with this pursuit . I stayed up all night many nights doing AP, but now I'm staying up too late every night with the microscope

I do agree conditions are waaay better than astrophoto and microscopy is quite rewarding
