<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2608183, member: 31773&quot;]It helps if you can find an infinity focus setting. Some cameras have a &quot;mountain&quot; setting that fixes the focus at infinity. This keeps the camera from trying to focus all time.</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to add: the above advice may seem counter-intuitive, but in fact the biggest mistake folks make when trying to shoot through the microscope is thinking they need to use a macro setting. If you put your camera on macro, it simply won&#039;t be able to focus. This is because when you look through the eyepiece of the microscope, with the subject focused for most comfortable viewing, your eye is actually focused at infinity. If you put a camera over the eyepiece where your eye goes, then the camera must also be focused at infinity. This type of photography is called &quot;Afocal&quot; and you can read about it here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afocal_photography" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afocal_photography" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afocal_photography</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
