Microscope camera adapter

On the microscope

This adapter mounts a camera on the microscope. The camera sends the magnified image to an external screen, so others can follow the work.

Printed and installed

Camera mounted above the microscope, with the actual paper clip visible on the wall display and a hand holding a coffee cup

Mounting and camera focus

Main body. Mounts to the microscope and carries the external thread.

Female sleeve. Sets the distance between the camera and lens to bring the camera image into focus. The two parts join through an M50×2 thread.

Both adapter parts at equal scale: the externally threaded mounting body on the left and the female camera-spacing sleeve on the right
