I tried attaching a dslr to a trinocular port on a compound microscope with no intermediate optics, but it looked like dogshit compared to what I saw in the 10x eyepiece. I've tried extension tubes to make it parfocal, opening the diaphragm, upping the shutter speeds. It didn't look like any sort of motion blur, just really low resolving power. Even live view tethering was just as awful. Anyone have ideas why?
