Which digital camera models are compatible with this scope so i can see it on a PC. I'm using it to inspect soldering work on small chips.

I have a Variscope that works quite well. i also have a Celestron that i do not like as well, but it does work, the software is not as easy for me to use for an old fossil like me. As long as the camera fits in the microscope eyepiece, or comes with the correct size adapter, and the software is comparable with your PC. My Variscope will not work on my Mac.

I think the buckmaster is a higher quality scope. I'd recommend looking at a Leupold as they are made in the USA and Nikon is made in China or the Philippines.

I am not in that field so I do not know but the scope performs well for me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I just received the model 365, the impact model. I think. It is the bmx one, same as for snow goggles, but with a nose guard. They were on sale at woot for 85 bucks. Anyhow, the lcd screen is merely a status screen, it tells if you are recording, no video. Also, I have looked at the spec sheet, and I don't see any optical zoom. Huh? Haven't tried it yet.

My original Cannon camera was a few month old when it was melted in our house fire. When I went to replace it the camera shop said it was obsolete already due to new better models. Bought a SD 3500IS Digital Elph. Has a three inch touch screen with 14.1 mega pixels. It is a great camera and takes great pics. Use it on a Swaroski spotting scope with an adaptor for long range wildlife shots. I have to zero in on my subjects looking thru the three inch screen viewfinder. Could not ask for better.

Hi, Not exactly sure why I have this cable...related to a firmware upgrade by connecting from the scope to the PC? You may need an extra cable with a USB on one end, and male compatible adaptor on the other end. I picked up this extra cable from Fry's electronics. Best regards, Tom

Hello, good camera if you have a large telescope. on small optics you have a lot of noise from the CMOS. H.S.

Ryan, I think this scope should work well for you for that application. I think you will want a sine/square wave signal generator of some sort as well, so you can get a periodic signal you can see clearly on the scope.

I was speaking of the basic, bare bones CPC1100 as it comes from the factory. It is also a great photographic scope for short duration exposures up to about 30 seconds. This is due to the standard Alt-Az mount. Adding the optional "Heavy-duty wedge allows for a polar alignment much like an equitorial mount. Then true long exposure photos are easily done. In fact it could even be claimed to be a bit better since there is no "meridian flip" caused by an EQ mounts' counterweight. Add an off-axis guider or a piggyback guide scope, an autoguider camera, either a DSLR or CCD camera, and a lap-top computer and observatory grade photos are easily within your reach with the CPC1100.

I was pleasantly shocked and surprised when I simply pressed my Phillips desktop computer cam up to one of the eyepieces. I was Skyping with a friend and he saw the specimen very clearly! WOW. I would imagine that I can simply set up a mount over one of the eyepieces and take photo snapshots AND/OR videos of anything I wish to observe.

As JWB mentioned, had good luck with the Moultrie 880, too! Nevertheless, I do own one of the Bone collector versions. It works well. ** However, if you purchase one of the bushnell bone collector cams, make sure you test it upon its delivery (or within the return window) for the dreaded 'auto-trigger' some of these tend to have. Basically, once the PIR senses motion, the camera will take pictures until either the batteries run out or you turn it off. I had this problem with the bone collector last winter (for xmas), and returned it through Amazon without any trouble and the second one works perfectly. There are many settings for picture quality and the photos are good and with a set of lithium batts (highly recommended) this thing should last a long time (up to a year I have had one of my bushnell cams go, but much depends on camera settings and frequency of photos, etc).** I have an older cudde too. Personally, I have been drawn to the bushnell's, but cudde makes good cameras too. Bushnell = good cameras for me, cost effective, slightly slower trigger speed, but super great battery life, good photos, but if target is moving rapidly the photos can be a bit less refined. Cudde = trusted brand, known for a fast trigger, and reasonable cost. I haven't had the best cudde pics, but it was an older camera. If it were me, it would come down to $ and battery life depending on what you need it for as many cameras are good now - even the moultrie880 (had pretty good luck with that camera too!). Good luck.

No, there are no sites on this model. You have to rely on the provided scope which does not have parallax correction or an adjustable objective lens. You will need to upgrade to a better scope and a better trigger also.

Digiscoping should work. Also, you could use a dslr mount adapter: http://www.opticsplanet.net/pentax-pf-ca35-kmount-slr-camera-adapter-70510.html

no idea. I haven't looked. I was trying to connect the camera to a spotting scope using a T mount. This worked on my old Olympus SLR, but I guess the digital SLR is too smart for this :)

Probably. Your question does not contain any specifics. Scope? Camera? Top or bottom lighting? I use mine on a Nikon variable magnification dissection microscope for top lighting. I have taken excellent shots using AmScopes 3MP microscope eyepiece camera (model MU300). I have also had excellent results using an eyepiece adapter and my Pentax K-30 DSLR. My interests are in still shots, but there is no reason with the correct hardware (and possibly software) that video couldn't be taken. I think the most important issue is using the correct interface between your camera and scope. AmScopes eyepiece cameras include the appropriate interface for the two most common eyepiece diameters. If you are using a more generic camera, an after market interface will be necessary. If you are using an interface to a computer you will also need a software package for video with the drivers for your operating system. AmScopes eyepiece cameras come with a nice software package (Mine came with ToupView version 3.7 for Windows) I hope that helps.

On any scope you can mount a camera through one of the eyepieces. Just remember to focus through the microscope AND the camera to get a good image.
