We will show you how to attach translucent light to the base without transillumination afterwards.

(There are some conditions based on base shape.)

As mentioned above, there are the following methods as long as it is a microscope with an observation board (black and white plate).

Firstly, remove the observation board.

Place the surface emitting light under the base. Pull out the cable from the gap.

Attach the glass plate instead of the observation board.

Adding a glass plate and surface emission lighting can be used as a simple transparent lighting stand.

<Transmitted lighting used>

Light illumination for small camera stand RD-95T

<Stand type>

If it is a stand type, you can turn it to the side if you attach (“3D arm”) in order to replace with a stand of a wide base with good stability.

<Arm type>

If you use our smooth arm, you can easily turn it to the side.

The RMS (Royal Microscopical Society) standard is the specification of the objective lens connection part (M20.32 mm P = 0.7.6 mm) of the microscope.

RMS → C mount

RMS → T mount

Conversion adapters such as are commercially available.

You can do various things by using this.

There are scales on the software.

The pitch of the scale can be changed

The above picture is adjusted to divide the 0.1 mm width into 25 equal parts. (You can not put numbers on the scale.)

（１）Shooting through a reticle (glass scale) lens with a small digital camera

There is also a way to use ordinary digital camera and camera bracket.

Using this bracket, and attach a digital camera to the eyepiece of the microscope and shoot.

(2) Shooting with a microscope camera that covers the eyepiece

Place a eyepiece (glass scale) of the microscope.

Cover the eyepiece with a microscope camera that covers the eyepiece.

Then you can take pictures with a reticle (glass scale)

■Focusing

Focusing during microscope shooting is not a microscope eyepiece but please go while watching the camera’s LCD screen. (It will be a viewfinder on cameras without live view function.)

*auto focus function of camera doesn’t work at this time. so please adjust a focus with using focus angle of stereo microscope.

Even if you focus on an eyepiece, it usually does not match the focus of the camera.

(If there is diopter adjustment or back focus on the microscope, tonality may be possible.)

■Vibration reduction

It will be like a picture blurred when you shake hands.

To prevent camera vibration, please use remote control or set the time settings.

For cameras with low vibration mode, set the low vibration mode to ON (about 1 second).

■Exposure adjustment

The exposure priority mode (dial A) is easy when shooting. If the monitor is too dark or too bright, please adjust the light / dark control (±).

Depending on the camera, “lens unmounted” may become occasionally.

In this case, shoot in manual mode.

(In this case, the brightness is adjusted by the shutter speed.)

■White balance

Please manually adjust if the image becomes reddish or blue-colored due to the color of the light source of the microscope.

Make the light source of the microscope proper, remove the specimen, set it to nothing on the screen (glass part without specimen in the case of a biological microscope, white or gray board in case of a stereomicroscope), set the screen to white I will let you recognize.

※ Please see the operation manual of the camera for detailed operation.

■ISO sensitivity

If the ISO sensitivity is too high, the image quality will degrade. If the screen is dark, you can take a beautiful image by using some method such as brightening the light of the microscope or slowing down the shutter speed, setting the sensitivity to a lower setting and shooting.

For monocular len microscope, there are indirect lighting devices such as dome lighting and arch lighting.

However, for a binocular stereomicroscope, it is structurally two light path designs.

Therefore, the lighting device like the one above can not be used as it is.

There are also a way to weaken the reflection by using the LED (flat type) with the LED pointing straight down as below.

For simplicity, there is also a method to observe by attaching a diffusion tube to the LED ring light

When attaching general-purpose LED ring light (not special LED ring light) to the tip of a stereo microscope, if the inner diameter of LED ring light is larger than the tip part of the microscope (the red circle part of the below picture), basically it can attach.

(Microscope with attachment part at the tip)

Based on the type ofmicroscope, there is a T-bar hanging at the head or the head is larger than the inner diameter of the LED ring light.

(Microscope without attachment part at tip)

In such a case, you can easily attach the lighting by attaching the LED fixing ring using the inner screw of the microscope.

For microscope as described above, the inner screw for fixing the filter is cut on the back of the tip cover.

As it is for optical filters, pitch microscope is common regardless of microscope manufacturer. (P = 0.75 mm)

* By the way, it is a fine pitch than fine thread of he general ISO screw.

This can be used to attach the fixing ring.

(We have a fixed ring of M49 and M48 available.)

It is easy to attach LED ring light.

The inner thread diameter may be large with a very large microscope.

There is no problem in this case.

Step-down rings are on sale from filter makers and others.

The following example is a step down ring from M 58 to M 49 mm.

By combining an LED fixing ring (attach with step down ring M49), you can easily fix the LED ring light to a microscope with a large aperture.
