Nikon stereomicroscopes and
Nikon
microscopes with fixed V-T phototubes attached to them were primarily
designed to incorporate an analog microflex film camera or for
commercial TV cameras with C-mount connections. Either an original
Nikon CF projection lens (PL 2x, 2.5x, 4x, 5x) or a Nikon inverted lens
“Relaylens 1x I” was used. Unfortunately, however, these variants are
very restricted when it comes to connecting a normal digital SLR
camera.
For these Nikon microscopes we offer a special LM digital SLR
adapter
with integrated hard-coated precision optics, including an original T2
adapter for all models of digital SLR cameras.

Assembly is simple. Just
insert our LM digital SLR adapter,
with the attached digital SLR camera, into the V-T tube and secure it
with a knurled screw. A possible analog microflex photographic unit is
also removed; then the LM digital SLR adapter is inserted into the V-T
tube and secured with a knurled screw.

Nikon
stereo
microscopes and Nikon microscopes
with a
non-fixed, removable V-T phototube can easily be prepared for an LM
digital SLR adapter with a C-mount thread. The V-T phototube is simply
removed after loosening the three small Allen set screws on the
phototube adapter, as shown in the picture below:

In
its place, the #TUST38C tubus husk
with C-mount thread is
inserted
in the remaining 38mm phototube adapter and is secured using the three
small Allen set screws. The LM digital SLR adapter with C-mount thread
and attached digital SLR camera is then screwed on.
