A conventioanl camera is a good choice for that, but there is one drawback: the only live image you see is on the LCD of the camera.  



You can get a relatively cheap camera (3 megapixels) with a decent software from eBay but the  sensor will be 1/3". Therefore, you' ll need a negative C-mount lens and a good one goes for a few hundred dollars.



So, for $600-800 you can get a usable system.



Good luck,



Vladimir

Steve,



That was a real budget solution, I say. I feel stupid, but I've never

thought of that way. Of course, what differs the professional microscope

cameras from your idea, is just that the microscope camera is in a fixed

position. You know, in fact the trinocular has a somewhat lower light

than the binocular, so it may be advantageous to shoot through the later

ones.



Man, I'll try that on Monday! Just wonder why so many of us pay fortunes

for that stuff when there are cheap solutions. Solutions for

revolutions. One of my friends lives on selling microscope cameras, he

wouldn't be happy if many more used TN technology..he-he



Thanks again, I needed that inspiration



Inge

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...

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
