Does this imager work with the AmScope 40X-2000X Biological Binocular Compound Microscope with Mechanical Stage (Model #B100B-MS)?

Yes! I works well but the magnification is different from the standard eyepiece.

Very, very likely. I bought the OMAX 40X-2000X Lab LED Binocular Compound Microscope with Double Layer Mechanical Stage and Coaxial Coarse/Fine Focusing Knob in Dec, 2012, which is awfully similar to the one you asked about and about the same price. The eyepieces look nearly identical, which is all that matters for this question. The Celestron works great with mine--I love it. You may want to search for my review on the Celestron for a few tips regarding getting it to work on a computer, etc. Good luck!

It is basically just an eyepiece replacement. That said it crops the field of view (a lot). I found resolution modest and the software unacceptable. I returned the item.

I am not familiar with the AMscope SE400Z, but on my scope my 10X power is in the eyepiece (1X or 2X primary objectives to provide 10X or 20X magnification), and the MD35 is about 5 times the magnification, or 50X. I didn't want that narrow a field of view, but short of messing with the microscope optics, I don't know how to change it. As for myself, I liked the camera; it does take reasonably good pictures, so I made my own lens setup by using a cut-down barrel from a Harbor Freight 9 LED flashlight (which the MD35 fits into quite nicely), and a 24mm dia. double convex lens that replaced the LED section - held in place by an O-ring. Works fairly nicely, but I have to admit that I went to a fair amount of trouble to set it up, and although I like the results, it is still a bit more powerful, with a narrower field of view than I would like. If you are a risk-taking experimenter and can cut the length of the eye tube down, and increase the distance from the primary objective to your subject (lens to stage), that MIGHT get the results you want, but that is risky business with a thousand considerations . . . In other words, I hope you can enjoy it the way it is, or send it back and try to find another alternative. Another possibility is to place a small concave lens (like from an old cheap film-camera's viewfinder?) in front of the microscope's objective lens, and, again, increase the distance from objective to stage . . . ?? That might do it, with a bit less risk/ Dunno.

I think it is pretty good. The microscope works really well at X20 magnification, and works reasonably well at X200.

Correct. The adapter screws directly to the camera without a lens and it keeps camera stationary in the vertical tube of your microscope. Note that the image quality through the adapter is much poorer than through the eyepiece. Especially with a full frame camera (Canon 6D, 5D or 1DX) you will get very bad distortion on the outer 50% of the image making it practically unusable. You'll get much better results using an "afocal" setup where you use camera + lens focused to infinity to shoot through the regular eyepiece. Setting that up is trickier as you'll need to get the camera to just right position and block any extra light, but the results will be much better. Finding a suitable lens is also tricky, you basically need a lens that has very short front optical elements (so it works close to your eye). In general older 50mm manual focus lenses work best, I'm using an old Olympus 50mm lens with a Canon adapter. Got all of them from eBay for $30 :) If you don't care about image quality too much, this adapter makes for very convenient way of taking pictures through the microscope.

Yes! But you will need to add light at the top of the specimen that you want to view. I use the AMScope LED Spotlight.

This microscope is very good. It would probably work for what you intend to do with it. I bought it to use with a DVD Biology course I bought.

I would not use this type of microscope for solid objects as it has a dependency of light passing through the specimen, like protist and specimen smears. If you are looking for something high-end for solid objects I would suggest something like OMAX 20X-40X-80X Digital Binocular Stereo Microscope with Dual Lights System and 2.0MP USB Digital Camera, notice the design difference. But honestly, a good Camera with a macro lens should work, a cheap USB camera may even work. I would check into what others are using for this type of work. This camera is not what you want as it is more for biology and other micro science hobbyist.

I do not have a M100C but looking it up, it appears that the eyepiece mounting - barrel I.D. - is 20mm, whereas the MD35A has an O.D. of 23mm, so it won't fit directly, if I have all the right info. The MD35A does come with several adapters that I no longer have, but I believe these are all to adapt to larger microscope barrels rather than smaller ones. I would recommend that you measure the I.D. of your scope's barrel before taking my word for it, and also check the info on the adapters that come with the camera. Also, be aware (not necessarily a problem) that the camera tends to increase the magnification and decrease the field of view - roughly the same effect as using a 50X eyepiece. In a scope like the M100C (if it would physically fit) you might even like this result, but I wanted it for a low-power scope, and added magnification was undesirable, as I could no longer get the entire insect (or whatever) in the field of view. But other than that, I love this camera, and have found another way to apply it - to my own home-made 'scope' that I built around it. The imaging is excellent for a camera in this price range.

I have not used it on the BeoVision 7-40 MKIII Euro version, so I am not qualified to comment.

HiTo be honest do don't know, i use it witha telescope. All i can tell you is to send a mail to the company home page and ask.Sorry.

I do not see any reason why it should not. But my experience with the 3X Barlow is that the image becomes blurry.

I have both the 150-500 and 50-500 Sigma lenses (A-mount) and it works with both of them. I use them on Sony E-mount cameras with a Sony A-mount to E-mount adapter. IS works with the teleconverter but AF does not. All other function work. This converter works especially well with these lenses for wildlife subjects.

Yes. The Aperture Control -Fotodiox M2-Nik(G) says the one I got- works with a 50mm f/1.8G lens, as well as other "G" prime and zoom lenses.It works with Nikon F mount lenses, even those that don't require an Aperture Control because they have its own aperture ring, like "D" series lenses.Please note that the Aperture Control doesn't have printed on it any aperture scale to know how much open or close is the lens diaphragm. To have reproducible results you must draw your own aperture scale on the Aperture Control, a not an easy task because there is just 1/6 of a turn (about 16°; 12mm or 1/2") between the maximum and minimum aperture points in the Aperture Control.

I just purchased one myself. I have converted several hundred old (1974-1983) 35mm colored slides into digital images. I have had no problems. The one thing I noticed is the way the slide is put into the scanner. The slide cannot always be put into the scanner in the same position it is put into the viewgraph projector. Sometimes it must be turned 90 degrees or it will cut off some of the picture. Once the slide is scanned it can then be rotated back by the computer slide viewer. Don't know if this is your problem.

yes, I use it with my Vision M and it works great. I thought it was an excellent buy.

I have the same lens & teleconverter and it works perfectly. Good luck hope you enjoy this setup.Wayne

No. This is a Microscope attachment, not a telephoto lens attachment. There are telephoto lens attachments, but ensure you read the full description to ensure you are getting what you need.
