Take advantage of the combination of a 0.55× optical factor, wide Nikon compatibility and stainless steel construction for dependable image scaling and durable laboratory use; order the adapter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their specialists for integration advice.

0.55× C‑Mount Adapter for Nikon microscopes (stainless steel)

The 0.55× C‑Mount Adapter converts a 38 mm microscope photoport to accept 1/2‑inch C‑mount cameras, enabling straightforward camera integration across a broad range of Nikon microscope models.

*Reduced 0.55× optical factor for sensor matching
*Adapts 38 mm photoport to 1/2 in C‑mount
*Compatible with multiple Nikon microscope series
*Stainless steel body for stable mounting

Improved imaging through optical scaling and sensor match

The 0.55× optical factor reduces the microscope image to suit cameras with a 1/2‑inch sensor, helping to preserve the useful field of view and preventing vignetting when pairing modern C‑mount cameras with Nikon microscopes. This optical scaling is particularly useful in imaging workflows where sensor size and objective magnification must be balanced to maintain resolution and uniform illumination. The reduction factor is a direct, measurable way to adapt existing optical chains without changing objectives or cameras, yielding consistent capture results for inspection and documentation tasks.

Broad compatibility for fast system integration

Designed to adapt a 38 mm photoport to a 1/2‑inch C‑mount, the adapter provides compatibility with Nikon models such as the E100, E200, 50i, 55i, 80i, 90i, Ni and Ti series, and stereo heads SMZ800, SMZ1000 and SMZ15000. The simple mechanical interface minimises installation time and reduces downtime in production or laboratory environments. By offering a standardised connection, this accessory enables existing microscopes to be reused with current camera technology, supporting cost-effective upgrades and smoother equipment harmonisation.

Durable design for reliable mounting and repeatability

Constructed from stainless steel, the adapter maintains mechanical stability under repeated camera changes and handling in workshop or laboratory conditions. Corrosion resistance and dimensional stability ensure that camera alignment remains consistent, which is essential for reproducible imaging and measurement tasks. The robust build contributes to longer service life and reduces the frequency of replacement, supporting an efficient maintenance strategy for instrument fleets.

Practical considerations for optical performance and setup

When integrating the adapter into an imaging chain, consider how the 0.55× reduction affects effective magnification and pixel sampling on the chosen camera. For routine inspection, documentation or basic photomicrography, this adapter helps match optical output to sensor dimensions without complex recalibration. For precise metrology or high‑resolution imaging, confirm the camera sensor specifications and objective numerical aperture to ensure the combination meets the required resolution and measurement tolerance.

FAQ

What does the 0.55× factor mean for image size?
The 0.55× factor reduces the microscope image to better match a 1/2‑inch sensor, so the field of view and image circle align with camera dimensions when using the Euromex 0.55× C‑Mount Adapter (AE.9855-N).

Will this adapter fit my Nikon Ti series microscope?
Yes, the adapter is listed as compatible with Nikon Ti series microscopes and is intended to adapt the 38 mm photoport to 1/2‑inch C‑mount cameras.

Can the adapter be used with non‑Nikon microscopes that have a 38 mm photoport?
The adapter mechanically adapts a 38 mm photoport to a 1/2‑inch C‑mount; compatibility with non‑Nikon equipment depends on the photoport design, but the Euromex AE.9855-N is designed for standard 38 mm ports.

Does the stainless steel body affect thermal stability during imaging?
The stainless steel construction provides dimensional stability and corrosion resistance; this contributes to consistent mechanical alignment and reduces drift from repeated handling.

Is the adapter suitable for photomicrography and routine documentation?
Yes, the adapter is suitable for documentation and routine photomicrography where matching sensor size and field of view is required; for demanding metrology tasks verify the full optical chain and sensor specifications.
