C-Mount Camera Adapter for Meiji Microscopes (Sold as 1 Each)
Meiji Techno Co., Ltd. is the third-largest manufacturer of optical microscopes in Japan. In 1964, Azuma Optics Co., Ltd. was founded as a contract manufacturer of microscopes and quickly established a reputation for high quality and fast delivery. In 1975, the company reformed into Meiji Techno Co., Ltd. and began selling microscopes directly to the public under the name Meiji Techno.
Any digital or video camera with a "C" type lens mount (1" diameter thread) can be mounted on any Meiji Techno trinocular microscope (25.2mm tube) by using these "C"-mount attachments. They are available with projection lenses of different powers allowing some control over the magnification and the field of view. "CS" mount cameras will require part number V-5MM to be threaded on prior to installing the adapter.
Note: Reduction lenses (i.e. magnification factors less than 1.0x) are commonly used to compensate for the increased magnification factor inherent with cameras used on microscopes.
