LOMO Biolam microscope to Sony NEX E-Mount camera

thingiverse

Tube to connect the classic LOMO Biolam microscope to modern Sony NEX-style cameras makes this microscope viewable on TV or ready for photographic and video experiments. \nThe arbitrary length of this tube may vary as it is unclear what exact measurements are required, but somehow it seems to work well enough. Adjusting magnification levels slightly might be necessary if results aren't entirely satisfactory. Some helpful advice would be welcome in the form of a comment regarding an ideal length for better functionality. Designed specifically and thoroughly tested on black PLA with supports included for optimal use - simply peel off the outer ring from the bottom part before starting work. Utility knives or pliers may also prove handy in handling these parts securely. Release the thumbscrew securing the Head/Eyepiece Tube on your LOMO microscope, then insert the bottom portion of this 3D print into that space and attach it firmly, connecting your camera to start capturing images and adjusting its orientation as needed. Note: Adjusting camera settings may be required to permit photographs without a lens attached since this passive adaptor cannot alert the camera body about lens presence. NEX-style cameras might also benefit from HDMI output adjustments such as changing the resolution setting from auto to 1080p if connected via external monitors, and utilizing video recording mode typically offers higher resolution compared to live viewing settings.
