Taking advice is sometimes hard to do and sometimes not the best thing to do. However in this case it paid off, thanks to all of you on the forums. Especially you Charlie
Tom has a focusing rail, I have a tube. Taking Charlies advice of moving the camera up and down the tube until the correct focal plane was achived is what really paid off. I had tried this many times but I never got any satisfactory results until now. Contributing factors to this was my camera settings on the G5. They are as follows for a what you see is what you get type of image, although they are not "Krebs like and now Graham like" photos.
1. On the G5, Shooting adjustments menu
Metering=Evalutative
ISO=Auto
Effects=Low Sharpening
Setting=Shutter Speed Priority @ 1/40 sec.
Illumination is exactly a what you see in the scope is what you get at these settings. Of course keep in mind I am using an Axiostar w/Kholer Illumination. Below is the result. Not nothing fancy but a big impovement over what I have been getting. I used a few diatoms for the subject.
Granted this image could still use some improvement but determination will once again pay off as my skills improve. Hope this will help some one out. Thanks again to all of you.
