Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
Higher definition and a .5x reduction lens makes a big difference.
I include a test image taken with my 60x objective. The microscope with new camera mounted.

Thanks Michael. Now if I can only find some ciliates. No natural water source around here. Any suggestions.

Wow Don, what a step up!
The wind and birds and bugs sometimes drag in little creatures. You'd want some water that has been sitting exposed to the elements a long time, perhaps a few weeks. My little above ground pool after wintering, for instance, was full of them.

Re: Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
I like it!
I noticed that your photo of the microacope has the same general noise as the camera--is there an added processing step here that might be adding that? The new camera is taking good pictures and I have a feeling the noise isn't inherent to it.

... Don added his photo of the equipment after I had posted.
@Don: It would be very interesting to see your photo-processing ‘workflow’
There does seem to be an edgy, almost pointillist, character to your images
... I had assumed that this came from your previous low-resolution microscope camera, but now we have seen a general photo it becomes intriguing.

Re: Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
I get bored with straight photography (I'm an amateur). I like a high dynamic range style so I use software and do a local tone mapping that raises the detail in darker areas of the photo. A lot of people don't like what I do, but I can't help doing it. I think it gives the pictures a certain richness. I'm not a scientist by temperament. I'm an artist and poet.

Re: Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
Hi Don,
I like your pics thank you for sharing.
Can you add a little information about the camera? I did a quick search for that make and model but couldn't find an exact match.
Thanks
Kirby

I suspect the “B” indicates it is the blue version.

Thanks Zuul. Not sure how I missed that.

Well, I am assuming that the 5000 is broken down to 500B, 500Y, etc ... if it is a 500-B from the 500-series, then that’s egg on my face!

Actually mine does not have a memory card or a remote control and it's black. I don't think they sell it any more.Zuul wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:00 pmElement 56 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 1:36 pm

See? That’s what I get for assuming.

Re: Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
Yes exactly. It is fitted with a .5x reduction lens.
Re: Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
I've been using that same camera (also purchased from Hayear) on my stereo microscope since April 2019. I just purchased a second one for my new compound microscope. It's a great camera , especially considering the low cost. Nice to have a solid camera on my photo port rather than trying to make a mobile phone work. I gave a good review on my initial purchase and Hayear is actually using my images on their website. (I've improved my technique over time, today's images are better). The biggest limitation is that the frame rate can be slow depending on the settings. Using manual controls (exposure, gamma, brightness, etc.) are key to getting results.
I tried to add images but either I don't understand how this forum works or they are not allowed. Regardless, I recommend this camera.

Re: Just Received my Hayear HY500B camera
I usually upload the images to https://imgur.com/ (just drag and drop the files to the website, you don't need an account)
Then input the image with the Imgur link using [ img ]PasteLinkHere[ /img ] (without the spaces)
Hope that helps

How do you change the frame rate for videos on the camera?KenK wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 2:07 amI've been using that same camera (also purchased from Hayear) on my stereo microscope since April 2019.
