I discovered this tiny pseudoscorpion under the bark of a large pine tree in Florida. The image was made by mounting my Olympus E-520 DSLR, sans lens, onto a dark-field microscope. The magnification is 100X.

T mount?

What kind of mount did you use on the microscope? I know you can get a mount to go to a telescope too.
Other then 'fantastic image! all I could think of saying silly is, Oly Glass not good enough for you? Or was it an Oly Microscope, they make excellent ones too I hear!

Thanks for the comments. The image was taken without a lens. I bought a microscope adapter on Ebay that fit my E-520 and mounted it on an AO microscope. The only lenses involved were those of the microscope.
