Step 4Then take a picture
This creature was crawling around on a leaf in my front yard. Pretty frightening, especially if you are an oak tree.
You can, of course, crop the image to remove the black circle (which is called "vignetting", and is a side effect of not spending $100 on an actual lens adapter.)

Um, the black circle in the photo isn't vignetting, that is the actual rim of the eyepiece (hence why you can see outside of the eyepiece in the far left of the picture). It is a result of holding the camera too far away from the eyepiece allowing light from the room to enter the camera's lens. Vignetting is a much more subtle grading into darker colours, just pop it into google images to see.

Very neat. I saw the local drugstore has some kid's microscopes for sale and I thought about buying one to take pictures of bugs and plants for my gardening blog. The reason I haven't bought it is because I'm sure the quality isn't very good. Anyway thanks for the cool instructable.
