Taking Images with Your Microscope

  Many of our microscopes sold come equipped with a digital camera and software compatible with most PC's out on today's market. With that being said, it is probably sure to say that at some point using your microscope you will want to take photos and upload them onto your computer. 

  Images onto your PC could be achieved with a stand alone digital camera and stand, a microscope digital camera, a video camera, or a digital microscope. If you are savvy with a professional digital camera you could purchase a trinocular port and use your existing digital camera and adapter. Just insert your trinocular port, remove the eyepiece lens, and insert the adapter into the open tube. 

  If your microscope has a digital camera you will need to "C-mount" adapter. The "C-mount" needs to be dropped into the trinocular port on your microscope and the threads must stick out. The threads will mate with the adapter on the camera. Typically, the "C-mount" will have a lens that will allow for you to see 10X the eyepieces when viewing the images from the camera.
