When attaching these cameras to a microscope it is desirable to capture the maximum amount of visual field in the camera. This is achieved by using a microscope C-mount connector 0.5x.



Each camera comes with a 0.5x C-mount adapter, with tube adapter to enable the adapter to fit eyepiece tubes 23mm, 30mm & 30.5mm diameter. Alternatively the camera can be fitted to the microscope with the manufacturers C-mount adapters.
