I don't know if you can connect anything to the microscope. I doubt it. The one I purchased is just a simple one.

No you don't have the ability to connect a camera to this scope. It is a child's beginner scope. They do have other scopes at Amazon by Amscope that have more options, like taking pictures, but this one is strictly a starter kit. Good luck!

No, the camera cannot be connected to this microscope unfortunately. The diameter of the eye port is too small.
205864
No, but you can hold the camera lens of an iphone over the lens of the scope and record what is on the slide.

I would call amscope - their customer service is excellent. Sorry I can't be more help.

Not directly. AmScope does have a variety of digital cameras that will. They fit into one of the optic slots. If you call AmScope directly, their tech people will help decide which is best for your needs. Very happy with the quality of the 'scope and with AmScope.

Celestron 5 MP actually has the resolution of its shots 5 - 12 megapixels. Setting to 5 mpx is optimal IMHO. The size and resolution of your computer display is very important when we speak of the microscope magnification. If you watch your shot on the small, build-in screen (300x200 pixels) you, of course, cannot have great magnification (anyway I enjoy it). A 5 megapixels picture taken by the microscope must be viewed on the screen with comparable resolution (wide * height ~= 5000000 pixel). If you have it and the microscope zoom is maximized you will have 200x magnification and even more. I can't say more precisely now. IMHO, quality of the microscope optic is good, and shots are nice. Please, pay attention that this microscope is designed to look AT objects (light falls on the object). When you use a classic microscope you use transillumination (light behind the object). So if you want to look at plant cells you probably should search for a classic type of a microscope. In general, I've got what I wanted. The only bad thing I met is that the microscope software provided on the CD disk refused to work at my Windows XP SP3. But anyway you can connect the microscope to a computer via USB and treat it like a flash drive. In "My computer" folder you will have Microscope Icon, and you can run the windows master for taking shot from microscope, directly on your computer.

Yes, but you will probably want to use a different driver. This one is chinese and shows it. It's VERY slow in recognizing the device, taking up to 3 minutes some times. Makes you think the device is broken. You can use VideoLans (and many other) excellent (and free) all purpose AV tool to view and record the images through this microscope. You will need to put the time and effort of reading the documentation for Videolan, but it's worth your time.

I have not measured out any area to view with the scope, so I can not be certain. As the mount for this device is not particularly great I usually end up putting the plastic ring around what I intend to view & zoom in to focus. Is it possible to take 1 cm2 shots with it, likely yes though you will have to experiment with focal lengths to get the magnification & field of view that you want. This device is more of a toy than a piece of lab equipment mainly due to the iffy base & the magnification dial's placement. If something more lab grade that is what you are looking for I recommend a more typical microscope such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/iOptron-ST-80-Digital-Microscope/dp/B0032VFC84/ref=fs_patw_1 It has higher magnification, a backlight, & multiple objective lenses. I hope this was helpful.

There should be a software CD-ROM provided. The software on it, though, does little. Go to www.bustatech.com and download WebcamViewer, it's free and works with this microscope. The red button seems to do nothing. The silver switch has 3 positions: LED's on, dim, or bright. The focus is very close, mine was a little inside the plastic end tube so I took a file and trimmed off the last 1/8" or so of plastic and now it works fine. The focus is still tricky, though, with that little ball-and-socket mount. One of my next projects will be to get a cheap kid's microscope somewhere (EBay?) and mount this in place of the microscope barrel so I can crank it up and down more precisely and have it stay put afterward.

The best way to establish this (without actual test, that is) is to look at the actual Sony manual for the camera. The "Specifications" section at the back of these manuals tells you exactly what type of output port the camera has. If the port is listed as being a "Type 3 multi-use port" (usually Type 3a, 3c etc) then it should work fully with this cable, ie it should provide separate USB, composite video and analog audio signals via the cable. The key words to look for in the manual are "multi-use" and the specification will usually also describe exactly what signals are available on the port. For the DSC-W570, you can find the manual (for the moment, anyway) at the following link : http://www.sony.jp/cyber-shot/emdown/data/W570D_im.pdf Look on page 22 of the English section of that manual under "Input and Output Connectors" and you'll see what I mean. I have to stress that I don't actually have a DSC-W570 camera, so I can't actually verify it, but based on the port specifications, the VMC-MD3 cable should work fully with this camera. By "fully" I mean you will be able to transfer pictures and video to your PC using the USB connector of the VMC-MD3 cable; and you should be able to get composite video and analog audio signals on the RCA connectors of the cable.

A CD came with my microscope that included drivers and utilities. A Google search for "Digimicro USB microscope driver download" resulted in several sites. Hope this helps.

As long as something is there to focus the light, it should work (most microscope mounts/tubes have lenses in them). I'm guessing that the trickiest part might be getting a microscope to fit a sony E mount coupling (although you can get attachments that will let you mount to more standard sizes).

Hi Peter, Minox does not have any camera adapters for their spotting scopes. Only three brands of spotting scopes have adapters that allow for using the spotting scope as a scope and then quickly taking photos through it. They are Kowa, Swarovski, and Vortex. Some other brands of scope have direct scope-to-camera adapters, but most people find using a camera as an eyepiece to be unsatisfying. Also, scopes with 50mm objective lenses are hardly ever used for digiscoping because their small aperture makes for long exposure times resulting in blurred images unless the ISO is set very high. Most digiscopers use scopes with 80mm or larger objectives. Steve Sosensky Optics4Birding

You need to measure the inside diameter of the threads in the bottom of the microscope. The supplied adaptor is 48mm and several others are available on the AmScope website. The 48mm thread will measure about 47mm inside.

No is the short answer. Look for "macro" lenses or "magnifier" lenses or "microscope" apps or lenses

The digital camera is software driven from a computer attached by a USB cable. The software has a zoom function that varies the magnification greatly. I don't know the maximum magnification possible with the camera.

If you mean can you buy an eyepiece camera and hook that up to the microscope, then yes. Just buy a high quality camera. I bought a $50 camera and used my computer monitor to see the images, but they weren't of good resolution.

I have no experience with Linux but I have not been able to use it with a Mac. There is software available generally to let Mac read USB type cameras but I did not explore that. The software which comes with the microscope is far superior to some of the adaptive software I downloaded. (My disk drive was out of commission when I got the camera and used downloaded freeware which was "ok." When I got my disk drive fixed and loaded the Celestron disk, it was amazing how much better the Celestron software was. I loved the microscope before I got the software loaded and it is 100% better for on screen live viewing with the Celelstron proprietary softward.

The closes to x1 I think you'll get is with a 0.3X wide field Barlow lens: http://www.amazon.com/AmScope-SM03-Widefield-Barlow-Microscopes/dp/B009VUP3R0/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1397176236&sr=1-2&keywords=amscope+barlow+lens It is not clear why you need x1, since that is zero magnification? I guess if you had a camera connected you can use the microscope as a camera holder. You can contact AmScope about possibly getting a 5X eyepiece, I'm guessing the combination of 0.3X Barlow lens and 5X eyepieces is the closes you will get to X1 without just removing the lenses altogether. I have not personally tried the 0.3X lens so I can't comment on how well the solution will work.
