content: Me again, sorry.I have my new microscope, would like to get a cheap camera (not doing youtube recordings etc, just to view a few things on the PC screen) .Using windows 10 on PC.From what I can get from Amscopes manual, it has a 23.2mm port, and I need an additional adaptor to use a c-mount.I've tried searching the forum but have had no luckMany thanks

content: If you are willing to run some tests, I could help you research what you might be able to get out of the microscope: to decide what to get. I am the wrong nothing and will remain mute, however, if you need to know what to buy and use, right now.

content: Many thanksI'm really just after cheapish camera suggestions that people know will fit the Amscope and work through my 0.5mm barlow lens, something from ebay, bangood etc.Not in any real hurry, will trawl through numerous youtube vids in the next few days, just wondered if any Amscope users had any suggestions.

content: Thanks. That’s a bit more than I wanted to spend, I might change my mind over the weekend if don’t find anything of reasonable quality at a much cheaper price.If I did decide to buy, would this work fine with your 0.3x lens adaptor if I’m using a 0.5x auxiliary barlow lens on microscope?

Eyepieces otherwise will influence, because camera have it own eyepiece, so imagine you put a 20x eyepieces, you will see about 1.8x less than the camera can see (wider view area). With stock 10x eyepieces camera sees about 0.9x compared to you (a few less view area) some people changes the eyepieces in order to perfect sync the image with camera, that means, the total area they see on eyepieces is the same on camera. But well, 0.1x difference don't make sense the change for me.The 0.3x adaptor is original and one of the best i have found, you sync adapter focus with your eyepieces focus and you are set, until you have your eyepieces distance ajustment set to neutral you never need to reajust camera focus! The included amscope stock adaptor is 10000% trash
