Would it be possible for you to post the magnification on some of the pics you'll be adding in the future? Or, if the magnification of the pics through the camera aren't the same as if when observing, what you estimate the magnification to be? I'm curious to know just how much power is needed to get the detail in some of your shots.
I did the first time mention the approximate magnification. I'll see what I can do the next time.

Many of the shots are with the 40x and 100x lenses. With the camera looking like around 10x on top of that or a little better. It's a little closer then using the 10x eye peices but not near as close as using the 25x eye peices.

Above is the calibration slide with the different lens x values.
