CombineZP is very easy to use; I made my first stacked image in a few minutes since the software is straightforward. I took a set of 15 photos with my (old) Galaxy S8 smart phone mounted using an adaptor (Amazon) to hold it steady on the eyepiece. I used Framelapse app set to take a photo every 2 seconds as I turned the focus knob through the range required for my subject to cover the full depth (1 1/2 turns in this case) .The app was programmed to take 60 photos but I hit stop when I had covered the full range.
Almost any smart phone will work; Amazon offers several adapters. Buy a used smart phone for a few $-you get higher resolution and save money over a microscope camera. Many time lapse apps are free and can be set to record a sequence of individual JPEGs (not a movie). Hope this helps other aspiring microscopists.

Does this come in MacOS compatibility?
