![]() 35mm SLR Camera Adapters For Microscopes Capturing video or photographic images through Meiji Techno microscopes is a very common and relatively straightforward practice. Nearly all Meiji Techno microscopes are available in trinocular models designed for just this purpose. The components listed below will allow you to mount your 35mm film or digital SLR camera on any trinocular model microscope. Those of you using digital SLR's, you'll find the adapters listed below on this page. |

You will need three components to attach a 35mm camera body onto a trinocular tube: |
1) The appropriate T-2 adapter ring for your SLR camera body: | ||
T2-1 Canon T2-3 Pentax K T2-5 Nikon T2-7 Contax, Yashica T2-9 Canon EOS |
T2-2 Minolta T2-4 Pentax S (threaded) T2-6 Olympus* T2-8 Konica T2-10 Minolta Alpha/Maxim 2000 |
![]() |
The T2 adapter rings attach directly to your camera body's lens mount. * Olympus cameras require an Olympus adaptor, see List below. Reference List Below for Other Brands |
2) A photo eyepiece, available in the following magnifications: | ||
MA986 1.9x magnification MA512 2.5x magnification MA500 3.3x magnification (with reticle mount) MA508 5x magnification |
![]() |
|
Photo eyepieces perform the same function as the standard 35mm camera lens (i.e. focusing the image at the plane of the film). |
3) One of two MA150 series camera attachments: | |
MA150/50 Straight-tube camera attachment MA150/60 Camera attachment with built-in focusing eyepiece |
|
These are used to mount the camera assembly onto the trinocular tube of the microscope. | |

Other Camera Accessories | |
MA150/10 | Camera attachment for Eyetube BMK, EMF, EMT and EMX stereos |
MA150/20 | Camera attachment for Eyetube TM200 and TM400 binocular heads |
MA150/80 | Camera attachment for Eyetube EMZ-1, 2, 5, 5TR, 8TR and EMZ-10 stereos |
Note: Eyetube camera attachments use the eyepiece to render an image so no photo eyepiece is required. |
