Review on AmScope CA-NIK-SLR Nikon SLR / D-SLR Camera Adapter: Enhance Microscopy with Seamless Compatibility by Rey Hossain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good DSLR microscope adapter

This adapter is very well made and has good metalwork so it fits right in the spot of my optical microscope's eyepiece. I have attached various Nikon DSLRs (D100, D200 and D7000) and they were all securely mounted. I first focused the microscope on the slide using the eyepiece and then replaced the eyepiece with an adapter and camera. I then refocused the microscope to zero the focus of the camera. The camera must be set to manual focus and manual exposure. Shutter speed 1/15 to 1/40 second on camera. The 10 second timer worked well. A 40X microscope objective worked best with a 2X adapter lens. This is a much better process compared to what I did when I mounted the camera with the lens on a tripod while looking into the microscope lens. It required a lot of careful focus and alignment, as well as painstaking handwork. The image was simply projected onto the camera's sensor. This is a photo of a spider joint taken under the stairs in our basement. I have been working on a shipping issue with Revain and AmScope and am very happy with their help.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Unusable features
