Step 1
Screw the adapter into the appropriate port on your digital camera. This port is usually located on the front of the camera.
-
Step 2
Gently, but firmly, push the adapter over the eyepiece of your microscope. Give the camera/adapter combination a slight tug to make sure it is mounted securely to the eyepiece.
-
Step 3
Place a prepared slide on your microscope's viewing tray.

Step 4
Look through your digital camera to see the image of the specimen on the slide. The digital camera is now acting in place of the eyepiece.

Step 5
Take pictures with your digital camera as you normally would. You can photograph any image you see through the camera while it is attached to the microscope.

Step 6
Remove the camera and adapter by carefully pulling it off the eyepiece, holding onto the microscope's base as you do so. Then, simply unscrew the adapter from the camera.
