LM digital adapters thrust the Reichert-Jung ME3 inverted research microscope into the modern era
Superlative image quality can be obtained by combining the Reichert-Jung ME3 microscope with large sensor cameras (DSLRs with full-frame or APS-C sensors). Paired with our LM microscope adapters, these state-of-the-art cameras deliver exceptional resolution, dynamic range and light sensitivity.
The Reichert-Jung ME3 inverted research microscope, used primarily for structural studies in the fields of ceramics and metallurgy, offers bright field, dark field and Nomarski features. The instrument’s magnification ranges from 20x to 2,000x, while the eyepieces offer 10x magnification. Plan objectives in the range 2x to 150x are part of the microscope’s standard equipment. The source of illumination is a tungsten halogen lamp (a xenon lamp is optionally available). Using our LM digital adapters, DSLR or system cameras can be attached to the Reichert-Jung ME3 microscope in two ways to capture photomicrographic images: either via the C-mount 1x side camera port (without built-in lens) or via the eyepiece. Our adapter solutions, which feature a plan achromatic precision optical system, enable this “vintage” microscope to deliver truly superb image quality.
Since Reichert-Jung is now part of the Leica Group, repair and maintenance work on that family of instruments is provided by Leica.

Fitting the microscope to digital single-lens reflex (DSLR), system or C-mount cameras is easy with our LM digital SLR adapters, which feature a plan achromatic optical system. Our products make it possible to capture top-quality microscope images. To help you select the adapter that is right for your camera, we have set up an online configurator on our website. You can also email us – ideally with attached photographs of your microscope.
Modern DSLR and system cameras offer the latest technology and are generally very well suited for microscopy applications. Most of them can be controlled remotely via PC/Mac. Because of their high sales volumes, they offer an excellent price/performance ratio compared to special-purpose microscope cameras.
Features of top DSLR and system cameras:
- Large, powerful full-frame sensors (36 x 24 mm)
- Sensor resolution of 50 megapixels
- High light sensitivity (ISO 100,000+)
- Extensive dynamic range (up to 14 aperture stops/f-stops)
- Short exposure times (1/8000 second):
- Full/Ultra HD (4k) video function
- Live video capture on external monitors in ultra HD quality
In most cases, these cameras are significantly more powerful than microscope cameras with smaller sensors (1/2" or 2/3"). On our website you will find our current camera recommendations and a camera ranking which is specifically tailored to microscopy applications.
