Anyone do some microscope photography?
While my webcams seem to be able to set ISO/shutter speed correctly, my discrete P&S cameras have problems setting the ISO/shutter speed properly. This is taking pictures through the eyepiece (my cheapo microscope has a built in eyepiece so I can't remove it and just use the objective). The microscope at least has its own reflect light source for the object, so that at least is fairly bright. I may have to mod it to make it even brighter.

You won't believe this, but my sister got our great grandnieces a very professional-looking all-metal microscope with a fine-positioning stage and USB eyepiece camera and software for $140! The mechanical quality of the 'scope and software design was amazing. I'll find out the brand and edit it in here later.

I have a 640x480 webcam that I thought died but after reflowing seems to work again. I tried it with the normal lens, basically I am looking into the wrong end of a gun, but the object shows up OK.
If I removed the lens on the camera, still looks like I'm looking in the wrong end of the gun, but much better frame coverage!
Alas, it shows up black and white(!!!)
Turns out that the lens that was on the webcam also has an IR filter that now is not being used. I suspect the IR is causing the color filters on the sensor to saturate and get lost. Oh well, not sure if I can transfer just the IR filter.
