Microphotography using an industrial 5Mpixel camera


  •    My microscope is a professional one but old fashioned.
  •    I bought it many years ago, for US100 from Aliexpress.
  •    Now, this model is not for sale but an equivalent is still available, costing about US100 also.
  •    I also bought recently a student version with a maximum objective of less than 40x, because it is not capable of oil immersion but its tube is too short  and its stage is too small to accommodate a micro adjustable stage.
  •  It will be too difficult to move the glass slides. However, the student microscope comes with 5 sample glass slides.
  • Another potential problem is the lack of a condensor in the lighting system. The student microscope only comes with a mirror, because it is not designed for the 100x oil immersion objective.
  • As a rule of thumb, the maximum magnification of an objective is 1000x its N.A., numerical aperture. The 100x is 1.2, 40x is 0.65, the 10x is 0.25.
  • Based on the pictures taken, it was not clear when I used the 40x objective. It could be due to my poor lighting. I just use a portable LED lamp. Or due to the lack of oil immersion to improve the effective N.A.
  • Although we only need the 10x objective, we need the adjustable stage and condensor in order to get a clearer picture. I recommend we invest in the fully equipped US100 microscope such as this one.

  •  US $138.60 with a 2Mp eyepiece, but I recommend an industrial C screw 5Mp camera with adapters, which should cost the same.

  • I use these samples to take photos using an industrial camera with a resolution of 5Mpixel using a USB 2.0.
  • You can easily videos in Full HD at 30 fps using the S-Eye software which is provided but it is in chinese. Better download the free software from its website.
  • To get the advertised 5Mp at 15 fps, we need to use the provided amcap software.
  • I was able to take photos using my Sony A5100 also but I need to transfer it to this PC in order to post. The picture is also not impressive because it shows a circle. I need to edit the 24Mpixel picture but I do not think I can get more details than from this 5Mp camera.
  • To use a DSLR or mirrorless camera, I used an M42/T2 screw to C/CS screw adapter which I already have in preparation of taking these photos and videos.
  • I found that looking at the microscope appear meaningless if I cannot take photos or videos.

the best review of Sony A7r II

Review: The a7R II is the Best Camera Sony Has Ever Made Home » EDITORIAL » Review: The a7R II is the Best Camera Sony Has Ever Made Posted By Jaron Schneider on Aug 18, 2015 | 16 Comments It’s been a long, interesting, often frustrating and ultimately an incredibly rewarding journey watching Sony go from fledgling camera maker to likely the most feared manufacturer today. They have come a really long way, and what at first seemed like strange decisions have culminated now into an incredibly well-conceived long term plan. As disappointed as I was in the Sony a7R, the a7S gave me hope that there was much to love about their future. Now, the Sony a7R II is that future, and it’s a brilliant camera that, though not without its flaws, is easily the best overall camera Sony has ever produ   The Sony a7R II is built extremely well, and feels great in hand. If you have held the a7 II, you already know what I mean. The grip isn’t the absolute best on the market...

Kelda vs Samyang 8mm f3.5 fisheye lenses

Review, Tested: Kelda 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon Posted on March 12, 2015 by lui_gough Fisheye lenses are pretty special when it comes to lenses. Their extreme distortion effect serves to be a novelty, which is sometimes overused , and can prove to be a handy feature to squeeze in extreme fields of view, or to ease 360-degree panorama photo-taking. The number of fisheye options for DSLRs have generally be limited, and it was hard for many to justify spending real money on a real fisheye lens. In terms of options, the one I like most is the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (~AU$380), available under a range of different rebadge names such as Bower, Pro-Optic, Rokinon, Opteka, Vivitar, Falcon, Polar, Walimex and Bell and Howwell. In fact, I liked it so much that I owned one for Canon and one for Nikon! The other that’s widely known is a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye (~AU$260), which is more suited for full-frame users, and isn’t as nice when it comes to flare handling. T...

How to make RAW photos with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro

https://www.fredericpaulussen.be/how-to-make-raw-photos-with-the-huawei-mate-20-pro/ How to make RAW photos with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro Oct 22 Frederic Paulussen Share the post "How to make RAW photos with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro" With new devices come new features. And also new settings. In this blog post, I like to run you through the camera-app of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro to make sure you can photograph in RAW too. Still thinking about buying a Huawei Mate 20 Pro? Read my full review here . Do all three Mate 20 Pro lenses support RAW? The simple and short answer is yes. The longer answer is yes but in different resolutions. The main lens supports 40 megapixels, the telephoto supports 8 megapixels and the ultra-wide supports 20 megapixels. The file-sizes and resolutions are all dependant on which sensor you shoot with. Of course, the 40 megapixels lens will crea...
