Hi Inge!

Every picture I've taken and posted on my web page is from a Nikon
Coolpix 4800 through the eyepiece of a regular microscope. I've been
doing that since I left California in 1999.

It's simple, just focus in what you want to look at, carefully hold the
camera lense up against the microscope eyepiece, look at the display on
the back of the camera until you like what you see, and then snap the
picture! I usually take at least a couple of photos to be sure I get a
nice clear one, but you tell me, do you like the pictures I post? My
Nikon camera was only $349...

Subject: [TN] Microscope camera, I deny pay all that money!

Hi, is there possibly a subdivision for skinflints in TechNet?
I want a good microscope camera and a program for PC. There are numerous
of brands, most of them very good, like Olympus, Nikon, Kappa etc. But
the price! 5,000 USD and up. It's robbery. You get a super system SLR
digital camera for 1,000. Much more advanced than a microscope camera.
The microscope camera does not even use a advanced lense, the projection
just leaves the trinocular and hit the chip. There must be a way to buy
good digital stuff and put together with a cheap image processing
program. You may buy a cheap digital camera, design a C-ring adapter and
use the framegrabber in Pinnacle 10, just one example. Won't cost more
than 1,000.  I know in principal what to do, but there use to be people
who are very creative on these things. Anyone who have a good proposal?

The cheapskate

Inge
