Sample with the new camera adapter...

I haven't done much with the microscope lately; it's different waters that are drawing me to them this time of year. However, I am anxious to post a sample photo with my new photo adapter so I can show there is a difference in quality. Still not perfect, so the search for the proper adapter is still ongoing.

This morning I found a nice subject, a Closterium, and here it is. Not sure what the magnification of the photo is but the picture was taken with a Zeiss Neofluar 25X/0.60 and a Kpl 8X eyepiece. Magnification of the adapter is about 2.5X so it's not the optimum mag for my Canon 40D. If I could find a lower power Kpl eyepiece it would help. Better yet would be the proper Zeiss adapter for my Universal. Also, contrast has been enhanced with oblique illumination.
