Default Re: Anywon tried an E-510 as a microscope camera?

Here is what I am planning...My E 510 should be here in a week. I picked up a used microscope, a standard OM T Mount Adatper and a 4/3 Adapter. At Surplus Shed (surplusshed.com) You can pick up a microscope adapter for about $20 which requires a T mount. The 4/3 goes onto the E510 and then the microscope adapter with the Tmount goes onto the camera. It'll be several weeks before I actually get to it cause when I get the E510 I'll be climbing up the learning curve. I have a nice OM System and am just now getting into digital. It sounds like you may have had more experience with microscope and telescope photography, so maybe you can give me some tips!
