    How in the world do you photograph from a microscope. I bought a stereo microscope for one of my scientist sons and I think it had a photograph function - but my plain old single view microscope does not - is there a way to get photos off of this - actually did one of your articles address this.

    PS - I got th first few but stumped on the last one

    The microscope looks just like the one I have which is from the 1970’s - very clever arrangement

    I know mine is not from the 70's because it was heavily worn when I got it in the 60's. Leitz made the best microscopes for years before they 'invented' 35mm cameras in 1925. They never make things that are cheap.
