Attach Your Microscope To The Camera

A microscope with a digital output such as USB. Often includes software to display the image on a screen or computer.Each microscope will have its own specific adapter, they are generally not interchangeable between microscopes because each phototube is of a different and unique diameter and presents the image at a different focal point above the phototube. These microscopic adapters have lenses built into them and allows you to see the images equivalent of what you see through 10x eyepieces when you are viewing the images through camera.

When adding a camera to a microscope, a C-mount adapter is all what you need because it is the usual connector.The adapter control functions that enable adjustments of all imaging parameters independently of the microscope. It is perfect for connecting most digital cameras with threaded lenses to most microscopes. So that the cameras can also be easily integrated into microscope systems for general imaging applications.You just need to select the appropriate magnification c-mount adapter according to the microscope camera adapter. The resulting images and usability are generally satisfactory when used with the appropriate adaptors. The adapter allows the camera to be in focus at the same time that the eyepieces are in focus.

If your microscope has a different type of optical connection, you can probably contact your microscope manufacturer to obtain one of the standards that are supported. As, it is always better to use the appropriate and supported adapters. Digital camera adapter drops into the trinocular port on your microscope and has threads on the end that sticks up out of the microscope to connect. If you are interested in taking more professional high megapixel pictures and you have a DSLR camera or another digital camera then you should consider the supported camera adapters.
