Both images taken on the BH-2 with 40x SPLAN objective. The first is taken with the Amscope 3mp USB camera with the reduction lens removed and the Olympus U-PMTVC adapter in it's place. The bottom taken with the Olympus E-P1 MFT camera mounted on my pvc adapter. Both setups use the Olympus NFK 2.5x LD photo-relay eyepiece.
No cropping was done by me. I thought it was interesting that the image sizes are pretty darned close. The difference in the detail between the images speaks for itself.

No comparison. I have an Amscope 3MP USB camera that I never use once I set up my Canon.
The Amscope camera is better than nothing and is good intro to micro-photography for someone just starting out.
