Re: Microscope eyepieces have come a long way...

And what exactly is shocking?

The only thing I realize is that the eye samples the image in z-direction
and the camera does not. The eye also closes its iris dynamically and hence
gives the observer the impression that he actually sees a more contrasty
image than a cheap digital camera can record. But compared to the expensive,
Peltier-cooled image sensors, this is a completely different story. BTW,
most of us are not using "standard" eyepieces for photomicrography but
dedicated relay lenses that cost $600 or more. I doubt that any ocular for a
telescope is better than these highly corrected relay lenses. This is
especially true for a setup where the intermediate image is directly
projected onto the image sensor as it is recommended for Nikon's research
frames.

Very true. It's often pretty shocking when you see an image versus
what you
saw in the scope. But you get used to it.
