Might you be looking at the Ramsden disc? If so, that is sharp image of the field diaphragm and condenser diaphragm planes, not the specimen plane.   


The point is that I neither adjust the focus nor lift the eyepiece. I look through the eyepiece (without my glasses, I am short-sighted), focusing and then I only hold a piece of paper in front of the eyepiece and can see the picture on it. And this also  happens  to my normal-sighted colleagues.
