I got stuck this weekend trying to figure out how to take pictures through my wild m20. But no matter what i tried i just dont get clear pictures, colours are good but the clarity aint great at all.
I first tried just taking pictures with the camera connected to the microscope, and the 6x photo eyepiece. Then tried putting the camera on bellows so that there would be no shake, but this made no difference.
Then i fitted a teleconveter onto the camera then the camera to the microscope, so the image passed through the 6x photo eyepiece, then through the converter then onto the sensor.... the images were a bit better but still not as clear as they should be.
So im out of ideas as to what else i can try to make things look better.
Here are some pictures i took, im not too happy posting these as i think that they look baaaad, but i need your help

The top 4 pictures were taken with a 10x phase 0.45 na objective and the last pic is taken with a 40x phase 0.75 na objective.
I did not use flash here, and i used phase contrast method to light up the subjects. These are how the pictures came out, no editing or sharpening was done, i just took out some sensor dust.
These all were taken on the same slide.
I used the two second delay on my camera, this lifts the mirror, then there is a 2 second pause, then a smaller shutter opens and exposes the image closes then the mirror drops.
How can i get sharper pictures with this setup, or is this how good it will get?
