[NHCOLL-L:5937] Re: Binocular Microscope and Digital Camera setup

[Ted Papenfuss]

Dear Lee,

I just  bought a very useful product that allows one to attach any  
digital camera with a non-protruding lens or a smart phone to any  
binocular scope.  I am using it with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP7 that I  
bought for $110.  We have may old binocular scopes in our museum.

The product that I bought is called a "SkyLight Smartphone to  
Microscope Adapter".

The advantage of the SkyLight is that it can be used with any old  
scope and expensive new scopes do not need to be purchased.  The cost  
including shipping for a SkyLight is about $70.

Sincerely,

Ted
