Micro / Macro question?
I need to photograph small objects at a distance of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) from
the lens. I want a magnification of ~50 to 100. Photomicrography (using microscopes) is limited in the working distance from the objective; it needs to be 1 inch. Photomacrography is limited in the magnification; typically 10. I'd like a solution that terminates with filter threads (any size can be adapted) so I may attach a digicam. Suggestions? If there is a better forum in which to ask this question, just point the way... Thanks. -- Dr. Leonard. H. McCoy "I'm a *doctor*, Jim, not a *magician*!" |

Micro / Macro question?
Hi Doc,
Seems like your solution would be an 'industrial' type microscope, not the ones used in medicine. These usually go to the magnification and the working distances you need. The better ones will zoom and have a ring-type illuminator. A camera will usually attach with a 'C' mount. If you want to use a P&S camera, make sure that a 'C' mount can be attached to it. A stereo microscope with a camera tube will let you view the image through the right lens, while using the left one for the camera. Fancier ones will even have a third objective lens, allowing taking photographs while having full stereo vision. Hope this helps. "Dr. Leonard H. McCoy" wrote in message obal.net...

Hi there,
"Dr. Leonard H. McCoy" wrote in message obal.net... I need to photograph small objects at a distance of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) from the lens. I want a magnification of ~50 to 100. If it can be done, then the people at Brunel Microscopes will know: http://www.brunelmicroscopes.co.uk/ I have several of their IMXZ 'scopes with digital cameras for field of views ranging from 50mm diameter down to around 1mm. At 1mm you will easily be able to count/detect 50um particles. A |
