As my contribution to the 24-hour Zoom meeting on World Microscope Day, I will be giving a live demonstration of photomicrography, starting at 1:10 p.m. UK time.
https://www.worldmicroscopeday.org/page14.html
I will be using a Canon EOS digital SLR connected to my Olympus BH-2 trinocular microscope. I plan to go through:
+ adjusting the illumination, field diaphragm and aperture diaphragm
+ adjusting the image in a tethering program (EOS Utility), setting white balance, and using a histogram to get the exposure correct
+ taking a series of images by turning the fine focus knob
+ combining the images in a stacking program (Zerene Stacker)
+ editing the stacked image in Photoshop Elements
I have a 40-minute slot, so there should be time for questions and discussion.

Sounds interesting!
I'm glad to see that this will be available later as a recording, for those of us who are in radically different time zones.
