This review is from: AmScope Canon SLR / D-SLR Camera Adapter for Microscopes - Microscope Adapter

I intend using this product on my Celestron microscope and Vixen R200SS/Celestron 4SE Telescopes with a Canon 350D. The product is of good quality metal construction and is shipped as shown. The lens on the assembly is small, precision and mounted at the tip of the barrel. I think you need a proper box in which to store it to prevent damaging it. The quality of the optics are good but I was initially disappointed with the difficulty in obtaining focus through the camera viewfinder, there is a strong interference pattern making it hard to see the image. Apparently this is an artifact of the camera viewfinder only and is due to the roughness of its internal screen. The interference pattern is not visible in the actual photos taken. If you have Live View I think this problem will not exist.I have been using this product in conjunction with Phottix auto-focus extension tube set and AmScope 100x oil immersion objective to take pictures of human sperm (AmScope prepared slide set) and other images at lower magnification.
Solar Imaging with Celestron 4SE and Seymour Solar SF500 Filter: I managed to get some nice sunspot pics on my first attempt. You can't fit filters to the adapter so it has limited scope for astronomy but if the microscope and telescope optics fit the tube then I am going to try interchanging the parts. I am new to Astrophotography so there are probably many reasons not to try this. Overall the product is good quality and I recommend it.
