[Histonet] camera for microscope

[Mary Ascenzi]

Hello All
I have an old Olympus microscope and am looking for a digital camera for 
photomics of slides.
I know that there are cameras designed specifically for microscopes, but am 
wondering if
anyone has used a digital SLR with an adapter.
What is the photo quality, ie sharpness, color fidelity ?
What software do you use ? Is Photoshop adequate?

thanks,
Mary
