How to take photos from a binocular or a microscope?
Question by Arnab Roy: How to take photos from a binocular or a microscope?
yes, both of them are the opposites, but theres a common hurdle to overcome:- focusing. im not looking for something to hold the camera to the binoculars, i just want to snap.
i use a Canon A430, which has the capability to disable autofocus, but i still get an absolutely blurred image on the screen, may it be from a microscope or a binocular. is it possible to take clear images ? will it work with an analog camera?

You either need to remove the eyepiece of the instrument or focus your camera at infinity so that the focal plane of the lens is right at the CCD. I have done the latter with microscopes, telescopes and binoculars and it works very well with my cannon powershot (no endorsement intended). To make sure that your camera is focused at infinity, disable the autofocus, take it outside and manually focus a very distant object (something that is farther than 500 ft).

You will need an adaptor for each device to connect the camera to that device. One for microscope and one for binoculars.
Here is a good one for the binoculars … great for the wildlife photos ….
