Excellent images and subject. Do you have to do much post processing to your images to get them that sharp and clear? What camera do you use?

The camera is a Panasonic Lumix TZ8.
Images processed in GIMP, mostly clean background, sometimes sharpen fears. Photos I am doing all the time by applying the camera to the eyepiece of the microscope.

They are amazing quality.

How do you set the focus to shoot through the eyepiece, at infinity, or auto focus? I have a similar camera, but could never get it to focus right.

The need for experience, always taking pictures on manual settings, I tested a few compact cameras with varying degrees of success. Auto focus and sharpen once again not, but it does not make much difference in picture quality. I met my Panasonic as well as look into the microscope eyepiece to know what camera parameters set.
