Do you have to get microphotographs with your microscope?
We develope and manufacture special adapters designed to use photo cameras, video cameras or digital photo cameras (compact cameras with integrated objectives as well as single lens reflex cameras) for microphotography. These adapters can normally be connected to the eyepiece port (if the microscope is equipped with a monocular or binocular tube only) or in some cases to the photo-/video port (for trinocular tubes).
