SPOT Camera to Microscope Adapters
Direct Image Projection Camera to Microscope Adapters
SPOT Imaging Solutions direct projection adapters are high quality adapters that connect cameras that have C mount or F mount lens mounts to microscopes.
Low Profile
Positions camera CCD chip at the intermediate image plane, close to microscope for greater stability, convenience and aesthetics. Because of this design, direct iImage projection adapters require that the microscope's phototube (if present) is removable.Quality Optical Design
Produces crisp, flat-field images with all microscope objectives including apochromats, plan fluorites and achromats.Economically Priced
Price range 13-250% lower than other manufacturers.Parfocal
Precise machining provides parfocality between the microscope and the TV monitor.Wide Field of View Images
0.50x (for 1/2" CCD) and 0.63x (for 2/3" CCD) provide wide field of view on monitor. Also available in 1.0x and 1.2x magnifications for larger sensors.Variety of Camera Mounts
C Mount and Nikon F Mount options are available.High Resolution Focusable Digital Camera to Microscope Adapters
Relay Lens Design
High resolution digital (HRD) adapters include relay lenses that project the microscope intermediate image onto the camera's sensor. This design allows the HRD adapters to be used on older microscopes that have nonremovable phototubes as well as current model microscopes.Variety of Magnifications
The HRD series adapters come in 0.76x and 1.0x magnifications to match a range of digital camera sensor sizes.Variety of Camera Mounts
Nikon F mount and C mount versions are available.Interchangeability
The HRD series adapters can be mounted to virtually any new or legacy model microscope. They can even be used on eyepieces if a trinocular photoport is not proesent. The HRD adapters slide into a microscope-specific bottom clamp, which enables the camera and HRD series adapter to be easily moved between microscopes.High Resolution
High resolution optics provide sharp, high contrast, flat-field images. The HRD adapters have been specially designed to give higher resolution with digital cameras and feature a fully multi-coated lens system.Precise Focusing
Precise, easy to use focusing mechanism for parfocality adjustment. A lockable twist-style focus mechanism is standard on all HRD series adapters.Elegant Finish
A black anodized satin finish adds an elegant look to the system.HR Series Video Camera to Microscope Adapters
Variety of Magnifications
The HR series adapters come in 0.55x, 0.70x, and 1.0x magnifications to match a range of sensor sizes.Camera Mount
All HR adapters come with a standard C mount, which is the standard lens mount for medical-grade video cameras.Interchangeability
The HR series adapters are mounted to your microscope via a microscope-model-specific bottom clamp. This enables the video camera and HR series adapter to be easily moved between microscopes.High Resolution
High resolution optics provide sharp, high contrast, flat-field images.Precise Focusing
Precise, easy to use focusing mechanism for parfocality adjustment. A lockable twist-style focus mechanism is standard on all HR series adapters.Elegant Finish
A black anodized satin finish adds an elegant look to the system.Digital SLR Camera to Microscope Adapters
These research-grade adapters provide superior image quality, low price, and excellent camera stability for mounting digital SLR and other large format sensor cameras to microscopes. A wide variety of cameras are accommodated using the industry standard camera T-mount adapter, while the bottom of the adapter ensures a solid fit to your microscope's photoport.
Wide Field of View
The 1.2x digital SLR adapter provides a wide field of view for cameras with large format sensors up to 25 mm in diagonal. The 1.2x adapter is ideal for the 4/3" format of the Olympus E series digital SLR cameras. The 2.0x version supports sensors up to 41 mm in diagonal and is ideal for the APS-C and APS-H sensors used in the Canon EOS Rebel, 50D, 60D, 7D, 1D Mark III, Fujifilm Pro, some Sony Alpha cameras, and the Samsung cameras. The 2.0x version is also recommended for the DX sensor in the Nikon DX SLRs, and the Foveon X3 sensor in the Sigma cameras. The full frame APS-F sensor size is supported with the 2.0x version with a small amount of vignetting which could be cropped out of the image. Alternatively, a 2.5x PA1 adapter can be used with the full frame APS-F sensor cameras without any vignetting. The full frame sensor is used in the Nikon FX, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon 1Ds Mark III.Add Magnification to a System
The digital SLR adapters can also be used to provide higher magnification for cameras with 1/2", 2/3", or 1" format sensors. The digital SLR adapters add magnification from 1.8x to 8.0x depending on the sensor and adapter used.Compatible with a Broad Range of Camera Lens Mounts
Virtually any camera can be mated to these adapters through an industry-standard "T-Mount" thread adapter. T-mounts are available for Canon EOS, Sony-Minolta, Four Thirds Olympus Mount, C-Mount, Sigma SA/SD Mounts, Nikon F-Mount and Samsung-Pentax K Bayonet Mount lens mounts, among others.Low Profile, High Quality and Great Stability
These adapters take advantage of the removable phototube of modern microscopes to position the camera close to the microscope body, reducing vibration. Computerized lens design optimizations, years of adapter design experience, and precise manufacturing ensure crisp high contrast images.
