When you choose which adapter you will use, you have to know the size of the mounting ring in your microscope. The szmctv 1/2 has a 28 mm diameter and the new 0.5 x adapter has a 38 mm diameter. Depending on the age of your microscope, you will have a different size camera mounting tube.

[@UnexpectedMaker]

That's exactly the same adapter I bought for my camera issues, that I showed on my livestream this morning. I was also replacing the same adapter you had. I'm very happy with the results now!

[@voltlog]

That's great, another confirmation for the solution! 👍

[@JUANKERR2000]

Hi, what you called 'tunnel vision' is usually known as vignetting. :-)

[@voltlog]

Ok, thank you!

[@Hugatry]

Good to hear you found a solution, even though Banggood was unable to fix the problem. It's sad to hear you had to buy extra components to fix a (most likely) defective product, but I hope you can appreciate the learning experience (on optics an what not) you had to go through during troubleshooting.

[@voltlog]

It's a bit concerning how they sell a microscope with a camera that is useless and even if you get a replacement camera you would probably still need an optical 0.5x adapter. I hope this videos will help people looking to buy a microscope to just get the right stuff from the beginning.

i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can give me.

[@wilderhenry3476]

@Mustafa Gordon i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@wilderhenry3476]

@Mustafa Gordon It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out !

Sorry, I meant the issues with the Hayear camera in Voltlog #292 you spoke of. Have these issues been resolved?

[@trumanhw]

Excellent! BUT, a 1/2.3" sensor a 0.35x is best: (this ali express: 1005002615881356) Spacer's are required when using CS-Mount-products with C-Mount Cameras: • Raising your lens helps bc the C-mount's focal-plane is 1.4x a CS mount's. • Ali express vendors happily sell same adapters as compatible for BOTH. Tried posting a diagram showing the different 'offsets' from the lens-to-sensor... (perhaps links are disabled or youtube's algo is afraid I'll offend a protected class) • The C-mount's focal plane is 17.56mm • vs. CS-mount's focal plane, which is 12.50mm The _focal plane_ is the distance the sensor needs to be to resolve focused-images. Again, I'd demonstrate with an image _the relationship between sensor size & crop-factor..._ But, links get my comments deleted. (sorry) Your video really helped me figure out how I'd solve these typical issues. Thanks!! If you want the images / links to them, my email is TrumanHW ... and google's mail. (youtube's getting as bad as eBay)

[@CrisBoy410]

Hello, I have a 0.5x, but I think it zooms a lot, my teacher indicated 1/3 which is wider, which one do I buy ctv 1/3 old model or which model is equivalent to 1/3? and which model is better old or new model? Aliexpress product link

[@faustsmith]

Are all the functionality of this camera working correctly now that you referred to in Voltlog #282 before?

[@MichaelYoung-hu7bf]

Hello I recently purchased an Amscope CL-SM-3T-V203 microscope. I have watched some of your videos about microscopes, and camera mountings. I wanted purchase a .035 or a 0.5X C-mount Camera adapter for my microscope, but I cannot seem to find one that is compatible. I contacted the people at Amscope and they did not seem to know what I was talking about. The camera mounting port on my microscope is 28mm. nonthreaded. Would you be able to recommend a camera adapter? Thanks, Michael

[@nerdstrangler4804]

I actually think the wide body 0.35x is the best option. I don't think the wide body adapters have better optics per say what they have is less distortion/focus around the edges because the SZM adapters are kinda like a fisheye lens. So the SZM 1/2 actually gives significantly more field of view than the 0.5x wide body. In my testing it actually provided the best field of view while also filling the screen, but personally I was not a fan of the distortion. The 0.5x wide body is just way too zoomed in and my least favorite of the bunch. The 0.35x wide body however doesn't have the edge distortion/focus problem of SZM 1/3, and while tunnel vision is still present it should be reduced. Granted I don't have a SZM 1/3 to do a side by side comparison. But based on my side by side comparisons of the SZM 1/2 and the wider 0.5x, and just general understanding of lenses, I am fairly certain this is true. Granted if you are just using it to take photos and take the time to make sure everything is in frame the wide body 0.5x is probably the best option. But if you are using the HDMI feed to inspect boards or are trying to accurately record what you are seeing through the eyepieces, I think the wide body 0.35x is the way to go. Then again if you really hate vignetting and aren't bothered by distortion, maybe the SZM 1/2 is best. They all have their pros and cons, but personally I think the 0.35x wide body is the best overall. And on a side note the 5mm c-cs mount adapter worked for me on the wide body lenses, but did not work on the SZM 1/2 had to use a 1 or 2mm adapter to get the proper focal distance, although they were really more like washers than adapters (found them on aliexpress). Figured I would mention it just in case someone is like me where the 5mm adapter is too much and no adapter isn't enough. Either way, just some tips for anyone trying to figure out what to buy based on my experience. Wish someone would make the wide body version in like a 0.42x feel like that would be perfect. Either way I will probably use the 0.35X for board repair, and throw the 0.5x on for my girlfriend is she wants to use the microscope for macrophotography or something and probably never use the SZM 1/2 since I am personally not a fan of the fisheye effect.

[@shamanking5195]

some action cameras are not too expensive and image quality is good, do you think is possible to adapt an action camera to a trinocular microscope ??? any ideas on how to do it ??? great video thanks for sharing .

[@NicholasPalmer1024]

do you need the c to cs adapter with the wide body 0.5x?

[@maxcamara4302]

0.35x or 0.5x, which of these two adapters has the same eyepiece view field?

[@cptmainwaring]

Great video. I have the same microscope with the red camera. Nine is also very dark. Did you try the new adapter ring with the original (red) camera?

[@voltlog]

yes, still unusable.

[@cptmainwaring]

@@voltlog Thanks for replying. I think the auto exposure is the problem.

[@voltlog]

Either way it's not something that's user adjustable which makes it completely useless.

[@patrickdonnelly5223]

Did you know that the Cosmicar/Pentax or Computar/Kowa 75mm lenses in C mount, will cover the APS sensor? F/1.4 or 1.3

Hello there mate! I've got a trino with no c mount. Just the old tube one. Could you help me? I need a good adapter and can't find one, cuz no experience... I am using 0.5x / WD180mm. Best regards ✌️✌️✌️

[@techdoc.repair]

well I didn't watch this before ordering my camera and adapter but I'm quite glad I purchased the one you reccomended!!!! Thanks for reinforcing my choice!! I got a camera with a Panasonic sensor with good reviews and the same adapter!! woohoo.. nice vids man thx!! PS- when I get mine in the mail I will comment and leave my experience with the same setup you have:)

[@OGRetroRebirth]

You mention the 2 sony Sensor cameras... I am tempted to bite the bullet and get one of those to have a great image and Auto Focus. This question is more about fitment. Would the sony be a direct bolt up or would you still want a .5 lens and adaptor. I agree the manuals provided are garbage.

[@voltlog]

You would still need an adapter, consult with the seller for the recommended adapter.

[@technicaliphonesatguru1291]

Which lense you use in microscope

[@rhinomangf]

Thank you for this video and the direction on the newer 0.5X adapter, as this solved my focus issues on almost exactly the same setup.

[@DustinWatts]

I need a 0.5X adapter for life in general to get rid of my tunnel vision! Great solution and thanks for sharing!

[@voltlog]

😂😂

[@MassimoFantinato]

About the camera socket: there should be 3 screws on the new and old one, can't we just replace that piece and use the new type of camera adapter?

[@voltlog]

That would have to be tested to see if the pieces fit mechanically first and then if they maintain the same focal distance. The risk is that you somehow manage to mechanically install it but you can't get it into focus.

[@MassimoFantinato]

@@voltlog thanks a lot. I don't want to bother but if it's possible could you please ask your expert contact about this, it will be really helpful to know?

[@AnonymousRepair]

Glad to hear that you could get your microscope working right 😊

[@voltlog]

thank you! It's working fine now with the camera and everything but I feel like it's another "3d printer saga" where you constantly want to upgrade and improve it. Now I'm thinking how one of those AF cameras at $350 would look.

My microscope comes with a 16 mpx camera and image quality is horrible, very dark, I am thinking to buy a new 21 mpx camera. What do you think? Any help will be appreciate.

Get the camera shown in this video, the optical adapter shown here and if you have a good LED light you should get similar results as shown in the video.

It doesnt fix the issue, to fix it with this type of camera you need the C/CS mount ring adaptor 5mm, it will fix the problem once and for good.
