What is a Microscope Camera?
A microscope camera is a camera which can be used to capture still or moving images in microscopy. These images have the same level of magnification provided by the microscope, allowing users to create a permanent record in crisp, clear detail of objects viewed through a microscope. Many scientific labs have microscope cameras for use by their researchers, and casual users may also like to photograph the things they view with microscopes for posterity or interest. In some cases, a microscope camera may be integrated directly into a microscope for ease of use. Users can focus and view through the eyepiece, and activate the camera when they want to take a picture. The camera photographs whatever is being seen through the eyepiece, sometimes providing a preview on a computer screen so that the user can make any adjustments which may be necessary. Microscopes with integrated cameras tend to be rather expensive, especially if the microscope and camera are of high quality. Other designs are
