What is vignetting?
A. Vignetting is the appearance of darkness around the edge of the picture, as if you are looking at the image through a pipe. This is particularly noticeable while looking through a microscope because the microscope’s image is round, and the camera’s format is rectangular. Sometimes you can eliminate this effect by magnifying the microscope’s image until it completely covers the camera’s detector, but many times you cannot. It is a function of the microscope’s projected image size, the lens size of the relay optical system (the Clearshot 600 in the case), the optics built into the camera and the camera’s detector size. It will be particularly noticeable while using the smallest adapter (23mm) and a camera with a large detector (e.g., an SLR style digital camera with removable lenses). However rest assured the Clearshot 600 has been specifically designed to minimize this effect (oversize optics, tight spacing, precision tolerances, etc.) and we believe will give you the best result cur
