[Nhcoll-l] Digiscoping attachment recommendations?

[Callomon,Paul]

I recently bought a little Amscope color eyepiece camera with USB for about $80, which works really well on our dissecting and compound microscopes. It automatically adjusts to optimum light balance and takes decent video too. If you added a Bluetooth adaptor, it could connect direct to your phone or anyone else's.

External.

Hello all,



I’m wondering if any of you have recommendations for attachments to microscopes that allow for easy phone photographs? I see there are lots of options out there, but I guess some are much better than others.



I also wonder if you all have any thoughts on the preference of a phone attachment to a dissecting scope with an inbuilt camera? The use would be primarily for IPM, quick shots of interesting details, but not for research purposes.



Cheers,



Tonya
