Attaching your DSLR Adapter to your Microscope (Model CA-NIK-SLR / CA-CAN-SLR)

[@aglassbrightly]

This video is a life saver. I couldn't figure out how to get the camera and eye pieces in focus at the same time until I found out you can adjust the trinocular port. Thanks, Amscope!

[@FrederickDunn]

Thanks for this video and product, I'll go to amazon, get one and see how it goes. I would have thought you'd want to remove that aux battery pack to make your camera body lighter and less cumbersome on the scope. Thumbs UP of course!

[@Lymedin2010]

What adapter do you recommend for a Canon 50d? I will be attaching it to a trinocular & the trinocular port is 23mm. I can take one of my microscope eyepieces & it fits right in the trinocular snuggly. Thanks for a great video!

[@ashutoshcaluniv]

I plan on getting an adapter, and I have a Nikon D3200, and a microscope with 10x eyepieces. I want to make sure I can still get the magnification for my photos because the lens of the adapter is 2x..

[@dellcomputeification]

Excellent video!!!!How do you photography insects insectiond with a microscope for stacking.

[@yuwan]

Thank you very much. This video is super helpful and clear.

[@sumeetaiims]

Dear sir i have a zeiss 1 fr pro surgical microscope for eye surgery. i want to know if i can attach the dslr to the microscope using a beam splitter and side tube. Alo i would like to know what is the crop ratio with your assembly. does the field on the camera match the field the eye perceives with direct viewing

[@MonalYuwanatiOralpathologist]

I have order it from Amazon and i got it today (06/10/2014). It is for Nikon DSLR but Can it work with Sony DSLR camera or Canon DSLR ?

[@DiogoCostavideography]

Can i use this adapter with a gh4? For exemple have adapter Micro 4/3 to nikon/canon lenses and put this DSRL Adapter. Thank you

[@zachray7089]

been wanting to get into microscope photography and considering buying this product,however none of the images in this video seem in sharp focus can one get tack sharp photos with your product?

[@baggybag1987]

Hello, I have read multiple reviews through amazon for the Canon adapter, and it seems that there have been serious issues with "chromatic aberration" in the 1st version. Have these problems been resolved in the 3rd version ? Are there any image samples as well to see ?

[@kds8404]

Is this adapter designed to fill the frame of 35mm or full frame cameras?

[@kostaskougioumoutzis5188]

Hi there! Excellent presentation! I have a 7x-45x stereo trinocular microscope and the adapter for my Canon 7d camera, but I am experiencing the following problem: when I place the camera (with the adapter) on the trinocular port everything goes black, while at the same time I can see my specimens fine from the eyepieces. Am I doing something wrong? Have I not pulled a lever or something like that?

[@AmScopeVideos]

More than likely you have not pulled the shutter pin. If you have the standard SM head then there will be a metal pin on the side of the microscope head. You will pull that to the outer position to open the trinocular port. That shutter pin transfers light from the left eyepiece to the trinocular port and vice versa.

[@AlexanderShubin555]

hi! I have Canon PowerShot S3 IS. Can I use it with microscop?

[@AmScopeVideos]

no, it will only work with DSLR Cameras. The powershot does not have a removable lens and thus, this adapter cannot be used.

[@radioactivoso]

I've got a Leika dm500. Would it work?

[@josealexander9794]

If I want use it with a Sony Alpha mount camera or a Samsung NX camera I would just need a specific T mount adapter plus the tube?

[@AmScopeVideos]

We suppose so. But we don't have any adapters for those cameras.

[@josealexander9794]

Thanks... amazon has adapter fot alpha and mx mount, I would just need the tube and the orher 3 adapters... thanks...

[@ish828]

Will it show full field of view which we can see from eyepiece ? or it will show show portion of it?

[@krecikowi]

Good question, I'm trying to find this one also. Did you find answer?

[@AmScopeVideos]

+Mole +Ishan Dave That would depend on the camera itself. The adapter has a 2x lense, so it will double the inherent sensor's strength. We have noticed here that our DSLR cameras do not get the same field of view as the eyepieces (they are smaller from anywhere to 1/3rd to 1/2 decrease in FOV). In short terms - we can not tell you exactly what your FOV will be as it differs from camera to camera.

[@AmScopeVideos]

Hello, magnification through any camera will always be different than what you see through the eyepieces of your microscope. Typically, the field of view will be less than what you see through the microscope eyepieces. The camera sensor usually defines what kind of magnification you get when using the adapter. When I used the D90 I felt like it was at least 15x-20x magnification.

[@RobertShane]

Since I have to remove the eye piece, what's the total magnification? Would it be the magnification of this (2x) times the magnification of the objectives? 4x, 10x, 40x meaning the total can be 8x, 20x, and 80x?

[@arie1899]

I wonder the same. The product's description says that the magnification of the adapter is 2x, so the total magnification is 8x, 20x, 40x and 200x. I also wonder, why the adapters do not have more magnification? :( www.amscope.com/canon-slr-dslr-camera-adapter-for-microscopes.html

[@berndueberschaer7766]

Does one of the attached adapters fit to a Leica M 80? Thanks, Berni

[@AmScopeVideos]

If the Leica has a slide in mounting size of 23mm, 30mm, or 30.5mm then it would fit.

[@rolintt]

FYI, I plan on getting an adapter, and I have a Nikon D90, and an Amscope microscope with 10x and 15x eyepieces. I want to make sure I can still get the magnification for my photos.

[@Hiedalle]

what about nikon d800? and is the adapter compatible with microsopes from ter brand? i am wondering because we might have different messurements in Germany

[@AmScopeVideos]

The adapter will only work on microscopes that have a 23mm, 30mm, or 30.5mm port. Yes, it sould work on the D800. Just set your D800 to DX mode and don't use it in FX mode.

[@jcgordilo]

hi, how can i take a picture? when take it the screen turns totally black. Does it need a special software or something like that?

[@rolintt]

Good instructional video. One question: I noticed you are using the 2x adapter. What equivalent is that in eyepieces? I.e. Is a 2x adapter equal to a 2x eyepiece, or 12-15x like I've seen on a handful of websites? THANKS!

[@madhavinadhaprasadkona4108]

Hiii...Can you please suggest mobile adopters for connecting microscope.

[@paulokumura1366]

Do you know of a 21mm canon adapter?

[@shello1968]

hi!!!! i´m from Chile in Southamerica my English is poor sorry!! my question is: what have to do for take a picture ( photo) whit this adapter, because when I try take a picture the photo is BLACK. thank for you help.

[@WhatNow4140]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@migranthawker2952]

Nikon may be different in how they work with T2 mounts, but with my Canon cameras, I can set the mode to Aperture Priority and get auto exposure, much simpler that setting it to Manual!!

[@rodreleo]

Thank you very much!!

[@AmScopeVideos]

sure, no problem.

[@rodreleo]

American Scope Hi! I have a very old SWIFT stereo eighty stereo microscope with a W10x 15.5 mm eyepiece. Does the adapter could work with it attached to a Nikon D3200?

[@dellcomputeification]

What micoscope would be best for insect photography????

[@AmScopeVideos]

It would depend on the size of the insect and what you are trying to do. I would suggest sending in an email through our main website letting us know some more information and we can guide you to an appropriate microscope. Thank you!

[@TheSlimz1]

does it fit to Nikon E200?

[@shello1968]

HI, sorry for my english, i can`t take a picture, what can i do?. my camera is nikon D3200. I can see de image but when i pull the trigger the photo is black!!! thank you for your help.

[@AmScopeVideos]

[@wadefyfe9782]

Does AMscope send gear to South Africa?

[@AmScopeVideos]

Yes, we do. You can check shipping costs to your location on our website's shipping calculator within your cart at AmScope.com. Please keep in mind that it would not include any customs taxes or duties that may be charged during the delivery process.

[@timeslidr9063]

Does it work with any AmScope brand microscope?

[@AmScopeVideos]

Most of our microscopes use 23mm, 30mm or 30.5mm. Unless purchasing one of our very base models, it would be adaptable to our line. I would suggest double checking the ocular tube mounting size to verify.

[@phichaklimprasutr8230]

very useful tutorial.

[@minhmeoquay]

can you record video too?

[@minhmeoquay]

is it normal when i switch to 100x and it is super hard to get focus?

[@minhmeoquay]

thanks bro, i tho the camera adapter is wrong for the microscope, i hope there is a way to fix it. Thanks tho

[@AmScopeVideos]

it works on any microscope that has ports that are 23mm, 30mm, or 30.5mm. So, yes.

[@RazcheedMannyPaloma]

Great

[@AmScopeVideos]

I would say that the camera I used in the video gives around 20x - 24x magnification with the 2x lens attached. Keep in mind that different camera sensors yield different magnifications

[@AlexanderShubin555]

5++++++

[@Jlimzifeng]

Does it work on the T120B ?
