The H800 is designed specifically for photomicrography, providing 0.7X-5X zoom magnification and a C-mount interface for most professional microscope cameras. While stereo microscopes are the preferred choice for low-magnification work like micro-soldering and dissection, the stereo lens design is not optimal for producing accurate photos or videos due to off-axis, angular distortion and keystoning. This single-lens microscope provides the same magnification range, but without the distortion.
The 0.7X-5X zoom objective lens produces exceptionally sharp images throughout the entire range. The C-mount camera interface is height-adjustable, allowing precise parfocal adjustments to keep the lens in focus throughout the zoom range. The microscope has an integrated 0.4X reduction element optimized for cameras using 1/2" format sensors, providing more field-of-view.
An optional adapter is available (AD-C23) to convert the C-mount interface into a 30mm or 23mm tube which can be used with eyepieces or camera reduction lenses. If you choose to use this microscope with an eyepiece or one of 23mm DSLR adapters, this optional adapter is exactly what you would need.
The articulating support system can be used to quickly change the height and position of the microscope over a large area. The support system uses a heavy-duty clamp which should be mounted to a sturdy work surface up to 2" thick. The spring-tensioned arm sections can be individually locked to set a working height, while pivoting joints move freely to allow the microscope to be swung into place when needed. This kind of flexibility is ideal for inspecting large materials and artwork, or to view multiple specimens.
