Olympus 5050 Microscope

6 posts
  1. In my out-of-control obsession with photographing plankton life, I am in the midst of wanting to purchase a microscope that will allow me to attach my Oly 5050 camera to it. Has anyone had any experience working with any such (similar) setup? I have seen numerous companies offering adapters -- some with lenses and some without -- that will allow for the attachment of digital cameras to the microscope.

     

    Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction with this as the last time I used a microscope was a tiny plastic one that came inside a Cracker Jax box. Thanks!

  2. Not sure on the best microscope to buy, but a quick google search revealed lots of companies that sell adapters that will mate a 5050 to microscopes . . .

    Then you'll have to find a housing for the whole thing :D

  4. Ike?

     

    :D

  5. If portability is a concern, the Enhelion Micron (80x or 160x) or Trekker (40x) might be worth looking into. (google "enhelion microscope")

  6. Can't the Inon macro lenses be stacked to achieve what you want?
