Amscope MU503B: A relatively affordable microscope camera

[@larrybud]

If you have an amscope trinocular scope, it comes with a tube which is adjustable up and down to get the camera at the right height.

I have been using microscope cameras for 15 years and your presentation is the clearest and most user friendly Ive ever seen. thank you

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Wow! Thank you so much!!!

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Are there any cameras you’ve particularly liked?

[@peterbrown4883]

@@zoominmicroscopy well at my work (cytotechnology) I use both Olympus and Nikon. They are great, the software is cell sense and Spot. I bought amscope for my home microscope and it wonderful. easy to put together and there are enough KZbin videos around(like yours) that you can teach yourself. Keep up the good work.

This is an excellent video on how to setup a microscope camera. I recently purchased an Amscope MU1003B cameras (10 MP) which I am using on an Amscope T690 PL, Swift 380T, and an Amscope M200. I did not have any issues installing the camera myself, but I think your video would be of use to many people who are getting their first experience hooking up a camera to a trinocular microscope. Your video is the kind of thing that all manufacturers should include with their microscope cameras. I particularly like your instructions in getting your PC image sharpness to match your microscope image sharpness (tube adjustment, etc.). I did not know that you could attach the camera to the scope without the reducing lens…..so many thank for educating me on this feature. I have noticed that the field of view that I get with my Amscope camera seems smaller than what I get with my APS-C DSLR, so I guess the sensor on the DSLR must be bigger.

Wow!! I can’t thank you enough for your comment!!! I greatly appreciate it!!!

This link shows sensor sizes. images.idgesg.net/images/article/2019/06/sensor_sizes_overlaid_inside_-_updated.svg-100056836-large-100800282-orig.jpg The MU1003B (which I believe is what you have) has a 1/2.3" class sensor (smallest shown in the diagram), and small "pixel" size (1.67 micron) so this will probably suffer from diffraction and "softness" in the images. This is what I've seen so far from the MU503B. Thus far I haven't produced great images of living protists using the MU503B or my iPhone 12 mini, but I have more work to do. I'm looking into DSLR or mirrorless cameras. It's been great fun, and comments like yours and other give me the confidence that I can be part of the conversation as we all work towards success and enjoyment in the micro world.

Hello, Its a great tutorial. Thanks for this. I have a question, Do I need a global shutter CMOS cam for image stiching? Is This Cam enough to stich images properly? Please reply.

[@fredashay]

What's a seedy romm??? I just want to either plug the camera into a monitor with an HDMI cable, or the camera to store the images on a micro-SD card that I can put in my computer.

[@zoominmicroscopy]

I switched over to a mirrorless camera (Nikon Z6) and indeed I connect it to a monitor via hdmi, and I store the imagery on the camera card. For me this is the best solution

[@fredashay]

@@zoominmicroscopy Thanks! 🙂

Thank you for the video. I purchased this model as a result of this review.

[@larrybud]

How is the camera working for you?

[@SanSalvador15]

@larrybud it's working well. The software it comes with is decent as well. I'm happy with my purchase

[@nz_coderman]

Is this applicable to Olympus CX23, thanks

[@Leon_T_Ward]

Thanks for all your videos surrounding the accessories for your SWIFT Stellar Pro-T trinocular. I am too looking into buying the same microscope with some later additions, such as a camera, filters, larger lens and more. I also have a Macbook like you and find your videos relatable. Watching These videos provide such clarity on what additions, I could add to my future microscope. Your making the research so easy for me! 😄 I just wonder what some live specimens (pond microorganisms) may look like under this setup with this specific camera? Would be great to see some critters in one of your future videos! Cheers

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Thank you! I’ll be coming out with a 3-month review shortly!

[@riderinsanjose337]

A very good video. I feel it would have benefited a lot by your showing the computer image with the camera mounted on just its tube, and again, mounted with the reduction optic.

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Thank you very much!

[@PLM_RO]

Hi, thank you for the video, I'm thinking of getting one, by any chance do you know wthat's the difference between MU503B and MU503? Many thanks, regards!

[@sam-ou9uw]

very detail, thanks.

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Thank you!!!

[@pastuh]

Nice tutorial :)

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Thank you very much!!!

The human eye has the equivalent of 576 megapixels. So the microscope and camera will always be the limiting factor.

Thanks for this!
