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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...
