AE.9850-O 0.50x C‑Mount adapter for Olympus microscopes — 42 mm photoport, 1/2" C‑Mount

An AE.9850-O adapter engineered to couple Olympus microscopes with 1/2‑inch C‑mount cameras, delivering a wider field of view and stable camera alignment for imaging and documentation.

• 0.50x optical reduction for wider field
• Fits 42 mm microscope photoport
• Compatible with 1/2" C‑mount cameras
• Anodised aluminium construction

Capture a larger field with controlled reduction

The 0.50x optical element reduces the effective magnification, allowing a larger field of view on standard C‑mount sensors while maintaining image sharpness. This reduction is particularly useful when pairing industrial or laboratory cameras with smaller sensors, as it prevents excessive cropping and preserves the observable area. The optical design therefore supports consistent image scale for documentation tasks and simplifies setup for comparative imaging across multiple samples. For clarity: C‑Mount denotes the standard camera bayonet interface used on many scientific cameras.

Positive mechanical fit and corrosion-resistant construction

Designed for a 42 mm photoport, the adapter provides a secure mechanical interface with a range of Olympus stands and bodies, including common series used in professional settings. The body is made from anodised aluminium, which combines light weight with enhanced surface hardness and corrosion resistance, reducing the risk of mechanical wear during repeated mounting. Robust construction helps to maintain optical axis alignment, reducing artefacts and the need for frequent recalibration during daily use.

Practical workflow benefits and application scope

As a straightforward camera coupling solution, this adapter supports rapid integration into existing imaging chains for routine documentation, quality control and educational demonstrations. The unit facilitates reliable attachment of 1/2" C‑mount cameras and accommodates the stated 35 mm to 25.4 mm adaptation requirements where applicable, enabling use with a variety of camera formats.
