Hi,
it is much easier to attach a good canon digital camera, which can be
controlled from a PC or MAC to a c-mount.
We are using a Canon powershot for gel documentation and fluorescense
microscopy (5 and 7 megapix)
ask your local trader: there are c-mount adapters for many Canon
cameras and zoom, exposure, focus can be controlled from your PC or
MAC.

Heinrich:

I had not looked at the Canon Powershot cameras since I already had a
Nikon Coolpix 995. However, the Canons are apparently easier to
remote control. Are you using Canon software or the Breeze PSR Remote
software? http://www.breezesys.com/index.htm
