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

AmScope Microscope Adapter for Nikon DSLR

The microscope adapter worked great with my Nikon D70 and D7000 cameras. The adapter replaces the lens of your camera. Has a built-in 2x lens. All I had to do was remove the eyepiece from my microscope and the adapter with the attached camera fell straight into the eyepiece tube. Focusing is done via the focus control of the microscope. Other adapters are also included, but my scopes don't have tubes for them. I have used this with both a compound monocular microscope and a binocular dissection scope and it has worked well with both. I've seen comments about depth of field when photographing through a microscope. Don't even think in those terms. Even if you could use the aperture change to try and increase the depth of field, it wouldn't work. Microscopes have a very shallow depth of field, and attaching a camera will not improve it. My goal was to photograph snowflakes. This adapter worked great!
