Re: lmscope.com digital camera adapter for c-mount

A professional, dedicated imaging device is not necessary to make
outstanding photomicrographs. There are other reasons why to choose such a
device.

Looking at your image, I see red blood cells. The objects are recognizable.

To make good photomicrographs, one must follow certain guidelines. I listed
a few below:
1) Vignetting should be avoided (or, at least, it should be cut away)
2) The right balance between resolution and contrast must be found. A
difficult but necessary task. The aperture must not be closed too much.
3) Background correction. This can either be accomplished with in-camera
white balance correction or in post processing.

Now, I am not commenting on your image more than to say that your attempt to
start photomicrography is promissing. A start is a start and nobody should
discourage you in making gradual progress. In time, you will find your
style. Just like in other types of photography, photomicrography is a
combination of art and technical knowhow.

Last but not least I quote one of my favorit American writers:

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people
always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become
great." - Mark Twain

I took this picture of human blood cells using my digital camera. I have a
Olympus BH2 with a trinocular head. The picture quality isn't too bad but
it could be better:

What do you think? How does the picture quality comare to the more
expensive cameras? This is the first microscopic picture that I've taken.

Hi, there,

I am looking for an adapter that could connect a digital camera to our
Olympus BX-60 microscope. The microscope currently has a video camera on
it via a c-mount tube (U-PMTVC).

The digital camera we are interested in is Canon powershot A620/630. The
rotating screen and video capability look very good.

Then we found a Austria company making digital camera adapters for
c-mount at http://www.lmscope.com/index_e.html

Does anybody have any experience with this company? Or has anybody
connected the BX-60 with a Canon powershot A620 successfully?

Any idea will be appreciated.
