Hi,
I am wanting to know if you fine folks can help me source a good/cheap adapter so I may continue to use my Canon T-adapter with my Olympus OM1 camera.
This is my T mount:

This is/was my adapter for my Canon M50 Mark II:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P2 ... le_o07_s00
Would this adapter allow me to connect my Olympus OM1 to the T mount?

Further more, trying to find out the name of the mounting system that the OM system camera lineup uses.
Thank you all for your continued support!

Sorry, no. That adapter is for using Olympus OM-mount lenses on Canon EOS-M bodies.
Hint: OM bodies are DSLR, so space between flange and sensor for mirror;
mirrorless cameras (e.g. Canon M50) have minimal flange-to-sensor spacing.
Adapting mirrorless lens to DSLR body requires optics for infinity focus.
Here is an adapter for OM bodies to T2:

Typically called OM mount; I searched using:

A micro four thirds lens mount if it is digital (and current!). Should you wish to experiment, MFT has a short enough flange focal distance for direct (optic-less) projection out of a 1" c-mount camera port – if the microscope has one or can be made to have one.

Thank you both for your reply.
Yes, my camera is the new Olympus OM-1 mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera:

So its not a SLR, AFAIK

Indeed, the current, OM System OM-1 is mirror-less and micro four thirds.

T2 is a threaded hole, so it should be the same.
