How do I get into microphotography? This is my microscope

Cum on a glass slide and post pics

I take estrogen, my sperm count is obliterated

>>4459677
Post your sissy drippings anyways and show micropics

>>4459677
are you happy now? did estrogen make your life better? asking since it’s such a radical change for a man to make to his body.

There are adapters that you thread onto your microscope but then attach a camera to it instead of looking through it. If you don't already own a camera, look for that first, then get an adapter that fits that camera mount. I have zero idea how good or bad this will look, but i've seen it be done and looks like the cheapest way to get into it.
There are also manual focus 2-5x macro lenses that exist you can buy which are beyond what normal camera people would call macro, but that's probably not enough magnification depending on what you actuall want to photograph.

Zeiss luminar + bellows

Haven't done this stuff for a loooong time but I still have my cheap microscope and cheap adapter. This one takes an eyepiece (preferably use low power one for photography) some have inbuilt optics instead.

Macro photography and photomicroscopy are not the same.

>>4459755
10x-20x mag is pretty close to microscopy

>>4459761
The lens NA is still much smaller, bellows don't do anything for that.

>>4459789
Bellows length changes magnification. They have nothing to do with aperture.

>>4459790
Yes, that's what I said. Your lens' NA will not improve from increasing magnification.

>How do I get into microphotography?
You have two options:
1. Afocal projection - an eyepiece projects a virtual image that requires a camera lens (e.g. 50 mm pancake lens for APS-C and 40 mm for full frame sensor).
2. Direct projection - a dedicated phototube (or sometiimes a special projective eyepiece) projects a real image the cone of which can be intersected by a plane which can be a piece of paper or a camera sensor. No camera lens required in this case.
In general every manufacturer has their own formula of what works best and it can be a bit of a minefield so you best bet is to start with manufacturer manuals. Since you are running Nikon objectives on a Leica stand there could be some optical incompatibilities resulting in various aberrations but it might also be totally fine - you have to determine this by trial and error.

Not that anon but I don't think it does much. It just makes you really annoying online and gives you nasty little flat tyre titties.

Ordinary (low power) eyepiece does the projection for entry level. I dug out some terribad shots I made at 2013.
Cheap microscope, adapter with vintage 2x eyepiece, cross polarized light (== pieces of dead sunglasses + piece of cellophane as retardation plate). Samples are common household chemicals. Never got around getting actual filters to do it properly.
Vitamin C in water left to dry between slide and cover slip . If I remember right.

Caffeine.

I don't remember what this was, melted between slide and cover slip.
