Re: BestScope 3080
Thanks for alerting me to these ebay items! Yes would be nice if the scope was in good shape. Although I wonder what the final price will be? Seems a bit risky too given that they don't know if it works or not and there is a no return policy. Plus what do they mean that the power cord is not include...

Re: BestScope 3080
Maybe I need to wait to see if the high US tariff will come down. One of the exclusions to the US tariff is "Stereoscopic microscopes, not provided with a means for photographing the image, valued not over $500 per unit (described in statistical reporting number 9011.10.8000)", which doesn't seem li...

Re: BestScope 3080
They told me that the 3090 can not be mounted on a boom stand, which is critical for me. In terms of the higher zoom, till now I have mostly worked with scopes that go up to 50x and while this is generally adequate I would very much be able to utilize a somewhat higher zoom as long as the NA was goo...

BestScope 3080
I am thinking of buying a bestscope 3080A ( https://www.bestscope.net/bs-3080-parallel-light-zoom-stereo-microscope/ ) mounted on a boom stand. Here is an image of the microscope although it is shown here mounted on a regular stand. BS-3080-Parallel-Light-Zoom-Stereo-Microscope.jpg This would be dir...

Re: camera and/or camera adapter question
Please see questions at the bottom of this post. So all is not lost! I took a 10x handlens and peered through the 0.5x reduction lens of the c-mount and I was able to get items on the stage in focus! I then tried with my Canon EOS 70D. Again looking through the 0.5x reduction lens of the c-mount. Th...

Re: camera and/or camera adapter question
Have you tried handholding the adapter over the trinocular port? It might want to sit somewhere above the threads. I just tried that and I can get it to sit there. I attached the camera and I think there is something wrong with the trinocular port. I can't get any clear image through it. Even if I ...

Re: camera and/or camera adapter question
So I went ahead and got a Canon SLR/DSLR Camera Adapter for Microscopes (see https://amscope.com/products/ca-can-slr). Unfortunately when I take off the C-mount the inner diameter of the tube that comes out of my microscope (see image) has an inner diameter of 22.25 mm and the camera adapter has an ...

Re: camera and/or camera adapter question
Thanks for the illustrated! instructions. This is really helpful. And please excuse my lack of understanding. I don't know why all of this seems so complicated. And no, this won't require your 0.5x lens So I guess from this that I will need to attempt to remove the 0.5x optics within my C-mount. Yes...

Re: camera and/or camera adapter question
Thanks for your ideas. When you say You can directply place an aps-c camera over the bare port, but you will get some flare. Still it's cheap and pretty good. https://www.microbehunter.com/microscop ... 24&t=10661 What equipment would I need to do this? Can these be purchased somewhere? And I was ho...

camera and/or camera adapter question
I have a Unitron Z850 stereo microscope, trinocular. When I got the scope years ago I had a C-Mount included. I believe the C-Mount has a 0.5× reduction lens. See attached. I am now wanting to attach a camera to the microscope via the trinocular port. I was thinking of getting a used DSLR camera som...
