Hi!
Many thanks for all those who answered, I'll try your suggestions. There is 
one thing I want to confirm though. It was widely suggested that I can use 
the eyepiece adjustment to make the camera and me be in the same focus. But 
that would be turning the idea backwards: If I understand my optics right 
(and I admit I don't know enough about optics) when the eyepiece correction 
is canceled (no adjustment), the camera CCD plane and the eyepiece view 
should be in the same focus. Since I am myopic and I don't stand using 
glasses while looking at the microscope, someone was nice enough to buy 
adjustable eyepieces for me, not for the camera. If I was to use the 
eyepiece adjustment for the "reverse idea", adjusting it so that they 
correct for the camera's mis-focus then I'd have to use glasses, which I 
don't want to, or better said, can't. So I guess I must adjust the camera 
and not the eyepiece. I hope I got it right! I am sure someone will correct 
me if I'm not.

Once again, thanks a lot,

Uriel.
