Microscope adapter for Samsung NX500 camera

youmagine

This adapter connects securely to the camera's tripod socket without mechanically engaging the camera lens. It also grabs onto the eyepiece tube on the microscope while leaving the eyepiece itself untouched. This distributes all the weight evenly onto the eyepiece tube, which seems strong enough. To avoid vignetting, you must zoom in to 50mm. The adapter consists of three separate parts: a base, a camera lens coupler, and an eyepiece coupler. Once you've verified that everything fits together properly, screw the base onto the camera lens coupler and secure the eyepiece coupler to the camera lens coupler using adhesive. The entire assembly clicks firmly into place on the eyepiece tube, which can be easily resized to fit your specific microscope. I printed this adapter using Coex3D ABS with 0.25mm layer thickness, 30% infill density, three top and bottom layers, and three perimeter passes.
