Canon M50 VII adapter

[chrish57]

Hi,
I am a noob and have a question about connecting my mirrorless Canon M50 VII to my Swift SW350T. I did get a Swift 5mp camera but i want to attach the camera. I notice several types available specifically from Amscope, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Chris

Hi,
I am a noob and have a question about connecting my Canon M50 VII to my Swift SW350T.
I notice several types available specifically Amscope any help would be helpful.
I did get a Swift 5mp camera but want to attach the camera.

Searching for Swift SW350T in the upper right box returns several topics, including

When I used a Nikon D3000 dSLR and T-mount eyepiece adapter with a 0.5x reduction lens,
the edges of the picture still had a different point of focus.
It seems the eyepieces are designed to help flatten the field produced by the objectives.
I get better results taking pictures through the eyepiece when I want to capture to full field of view.

It is not unusual for microscope objectives to need matching oculars to correct image distortions.
According to the manual https://swiftoptical.com/uploads/pdf/SW350TManual.pdf,
your Swift included both 25x and 10x oculars. If you are willing to look thru 25x oculars,
then a 10x is available for the photo port, and your camera can be located over that.
For APS-C cameras, such as Canon's M50 Mk II,
a lens with 40mm focal length (e.g. 15-45mm or 18-150mm) should work,
focused at infinity. Measure the outside diameter of the Swift photo tube and obtain a clamp that fits.
If that diameter is 1.25-inch (31.75mm) or a little less, than a telescope adapter can fit:

That thread also describes other so-called afocal camera attachments.
Many such clamps have a T2 thread, which is 42mm AKA M42,
requiring a filter step-down ring that adapts your (40mm focal length) camera lens' filter thread to M42.
