FAQ: I would like to use a digital SLR camera on my microscope’s eyepiece tube. Isn’t the camera too heavy for the tube?

Modern digital SLR cameras weigh about 0.5 kg. LM digital adapters with a push-on sleeve are specifically designed for use with eyepiece tubes. The strong, stable design of the LM digital adapter and its high-quality materials guarantee that it can be used to best effect on an eyepiece tube. Further information on the performance features of digital adapters can be found on the following page:: Performance features and advantages of LM digital adapters

As the forces from the LM digital adapter are transferred to the microscope eyepiece tube over a large surface area, there will be no damage done to the microscope. The integrated plan achromatic hard-coated lens of the LM digital adapter corresponds approximately to the visual field of a 10x eyepiece.
