I was not really satisfied with results from outside lighting sources such as flashlights to light a specimen for reflective lighting techniques so I made an LED fixture to fit into an eyepiece socket or into the camera tube to observe opaque specimens. It will work. My light was just a 1 watt led. You can do it but be careful. The brightness can burn your eyeballs right out of their sockets. Best figure out how to diminish the intensity.

Eyepiece lighting.
Here you can discuss different microscopic techniques and illumination methods, such as Brightfield, Darkfield, Phase Contrast, DIC, Oblique illumination, etc.
