How do I use the trv900 to record stills and video through a microscope?
Usually the video cameras people mount on microscopes are “C-Mount” type which have removable lenses, so you rely on the microscope column optics to actually focus the image on the CCD surface. The TRV900 has a non-removable lens. What this means is you will need collimated light out of the microscope, instead of focused light. This is the same optical property as an eyepiece, since your eye also takes collimated light in and focuses it internally on your retina. I think that collimated light out of a microscope camera port may be unusual, but if you could use the normal eyepiece, and you can get or make an adaptor to go to the TRV900’s 52mm thread filter mount, you’ll probably be ok. There may also be a concern about the weight of the camera supported only by the lens mount (it’s not designed for that) so there may be some mechanical support difficulties to overcome. I’ve seen a third-party microscope/telescope adaptor for video cameras which might help you, look here. Note also, this
