Nikon’s “Fabre Photo EX” is a relatively low-power stereoscopic microscope that makes up for any other shortcomings with its ability to mount a Nikon DSLR camera on its back for high-resolution imaging of microscopic bacterial fashion models.
The observation optical system features 20-times magnification, and the actual field of view is 11mm in diameter. The shooting magnification varies depending on the connected camera, but it will be about 45-times without the intermediate tube, 56-times with one tube and 66-times with two tubes when a Nikon DX format camera (A4-size print) is used.
It’ll cost a bit over a grand, give or take. Looks like a ton of fun.
As someone who’s had to use an inverted microscope for a significant quantity of time, I think this approach is a bit backwards (no pun intended). Most laboratory microscopes have adapters for fitting cameras onto them (often substituting where an eyepiece slides into).
Does it take stereo photos? If not, what’s the point??
Yeah, why does it need eyeholes? That’s retarded – you could just use the camera eyehole.
Transforms into Deathray! Battlestation! Robot Warrior! and much much more!
Definately backwards. For over $1000 you could get a decent trinocular microsope and pick up an adapter for around $100 and produce far better images.
If they Lowered the price to $200-300 it could be useful but at that price point it’s just crazy.
“retarded” for having eyepieces??? think about it for a minute or so (maybe 5 minutes in your case)and then make a comment. Have you ever even used a microscope??? I’d rather hang out with somebody with Down Syndrome any day…
