Microscope - camera setup

#1 Post by FTL » Fri May 15, 2020 7:45 pm

Hi,

My goal is to take 4K videos of spores at the size of 30 - 100 microns through a microscope.

My question is - what is the most quality setup for this goal? Is it a microscopic camera attached to the eyepiece? Or is it a mirrorless / DSLR camera connected to a trinocular binocular / stereo microscope?

What do I need to know about image crop, if I go for large sensor mirrorless / DSLR cameras (not larger than APS - C)?

Also, I once inserted my mirrorless Fuji XT-20 into my telescope with an adapter, and the images turned out blurry, after achieving maximum focus. Even my smartphone took sharper images. Do anyone know what the problem is? I don't want this to happen at the microscope setup aswell.

And what about image magnification? Can I know what the magnification and field of view would look like?

Is there anything else I should know?

Thank you!
