Microscope trinocular Imaging alternative

#1 Post by perulero » Thu Apr 09, 2020 12:10 am

I have an Olympus CH30 microscope with a trinocular head.
Unfortunately I have been unable to take pictures with it using the trinocular imaging eyepiece as I could find a cheap secondhand Olympus Phototube.
So I decided to adapt some of my imaging equipment from my astronomy hobby.
I had a Meade eyepiece projection adapter that I adapted with a small machined aluminium tube (ID-25mm OD 28mm 30mm long) to enable this adapter to sit over the imaging 3.3x eyepiece snug and allow my Canon DSLR to interface.
So if you have one of these (cost of generic version on ebay is around $40) you may be able to adapt it to your trinocular?

Your link is broken. I's really like to see your setup. Can you link it again?

Just as a side-note, olympus infinity era photo hardware has the same dpvetail as finite era, right? Does the photomicro L and similar work, or is it a different parfocal length?
