Hello
I have a trinocular Olympus BX40 equipped with a very old low-resolution digital camera. I would like to adapt my Olympus SX50 HS in place of that camera. Is it possible? Does someone have tried something similar with other digital camera models or microscope models? Just being clear, I do not want to adapt the camera to the eyepiece. Also, the SX50 HS is not DSLR.
Thanks for all the help!
Dear Alberto Moraes
It is possible. Instead of trying to fix the mobile camera at microscopic camera hood, focusing the image at an eyepiece using a mobile camera will work better. Good photos can be taken using mobile phones just by placing the mobile camera on the eyepiece. Just fix the mobile camera on the eye-piece and adjust the magnifications.
Hi M. Manokari Thanks for your feedback... I know this method and it's really easy to do. The thing is that I cannot get high-quality images for image analysis using this approach. Mobiles will provide me only JPEG files, and I need to work with TIFF or haw files for a good morphometric analisys. But thanks any way for the hint.
You need either a c mount or T mount for the camera. Here is one I found on amazon (see below) But you could always call an Olympus rep for a recommendation and they can help you find teh right mount for your trinocular scope.
