Nikon Fabre Photo EX: Take microscopic DSLR photos
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).

Yeah, why does it need eyeholes? That's retarded - you could just use the camera eyehole.

"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...

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.
