Focus Help Amscope Thanks

Both pics look blurry to me. Sounds like a camera problem not the scope but I am not a pro.

If you are seeing problems in the Live View screen, then the issue is with the scope. Snapping the shot in Live View is best you can do, since EFSC is active.

I'd suggest putting an eyepiece on the trinocular port to see if the sharpness is the same as on the eyepiece ports.

Is the magnification at the camera the same as the magnification at the eyepieces?

Never could get my AmScope to focus right, sitting here collecting dust for about two years. Wish I'd never bought it.

Your original images you posted are short in Y and wide in X. I assume you have cropped them unless you have a very odd camera. Can you post a whole pic so we can see what you're getting overall? Is this a 100% crop image? If so, you should not expect it to be sharp.

westcoin-my camera is attached to the microscope and on a sturdy table. I am shooting in "live mode" and using my mouse for the shutter release. I have to manually focus using this set up. It is not only that I cannot get a focused shot, I cannot get a focused image on my computer screen so I dont think vibration is causing the problem. When I leave live mode and focus manually through the camers I still cannot get a focused shot. Here is my setup.


This pic was taken by trying to focus through the camera rather than live view. This is as good as I can get it.




Not sure what my problem is (probably me) but my frustration level is very high. Am I missing something in the operation? If I am right, I see others doing the same type of shooting with basically the same setup and not having this problem.

HELP!

Is the camera slowly (almost imperceptible) creeping at all? Or maybe the camera and binocular side aren't par focal (focusing at the same length)? If you focus using the eyepiece in normal - is the camera in focus? If not can you raise the camera up while viewing in live view until it is focused? You can use a par focal ring to lock the final position.



I use these all the time in my telescope shooting, sometimes it is just easier to get an eyepiece in focus with my eye first, then dropping the camera in.

First goal is to get the camera in focus, then remove it from my telescope drop in my camera, with a par focal ring on it already, then pull the eyepiece outwards from the draw tube until it is focused. At this point I slide the par focal ring down to mate with the draw tube edge, and tighten the ring in place. Next time I want to shoot with that camera, I pick the eyepiece out, drop it in and focus, now when I remove the eyepiece and drop in the camera it should be in focus. Hope this makes sense.

Here are pics of my trinocular port and the canon adapter on my camera. I can focus through the tri port with the eyepiece except the eyepiece does not fit into the tri port. I just have to hold it steady over the port. Even if I remove the part shown in pic 1 below, the eyepiece will not fit in the port. The only focus control is by moving the scope head up and down. Is there a way to do a finer focus or is there something else that is supposed to be between the canon adapter and the port? THANKS for your help!

I'll bet the problem is the optics in the camera adapter. If you take the adapter off the camera and use it as an eyepiece, is the image as good as with your regular eyepiece?
