Abstract
An improved mounting apparatus for use in recording microscopic images with an image recording device, such as a camera or camcorder is provided. The apparatus is capable of readily aligning the optical axis of the image recording device and the optical axis of the microscope optical tube of the apparatus. Also provided are methods of using the device to observe, record and/or alter a specimen on which the apparatus is mounted. In addition, a microscope is provided which has simple but durable means for gross and fine focus adjustments. The microscope includes an optical tube for magnifying an image of a specimen to be viewed, and an optical tube sleeve in which the optical tube is rotatably and slideably retained. The optical tube includes a radial projection which is adapted to slide along the edge of the sleeve to grossly and finely adjust the focus of the microscope.
