Good - try it.
You need to use a DSLR at prime focus so that the microscope objective
focuses directly on to the camera sensor for maximum sharpness.
I use a T -piece on my Canon EOS 1000d DSLR.

Here's a question for you and I can't find an answer on Google.
I have found that all microscopes that I've measured have
eyepiece barrel diameters of 23.2 mm or 0.913 inches.
Telescopes are generally at 1 1/4 inch = 31.75 mm.
Of course telescopes can even fit 2 inch eyepieces.

Question:
why are microscope eyepieces so small in diameter?

cheers
Allan
