I connected a lamp and flash at the base light port of the microscope using a beam splitter. Using the lamp is fine but whenever I use the flash the images get blurred in one direction (that would be the direction of shutter movement). The camera is Canon 50D and the flash model is 430EX II. Any idea whats the reason for this and how could I remedy the situation?
Using flash produces blurred images throught microscope

Yes, very likely it will be due to shutter induced vibration.
What flash and camera settings do you use?
Test manual low power flash settings, second curtain sync with 1/8 sec or longer speed (in dark)....etc to isolate the issue.
