Connecting modern digital cameras to the Zeiss Primo Vert inverted microscope

The Zeiss Primo Vert inverted microscope is excellently suited for use with modern digital cameras. Depending on the user’s preferences and requirements, our favourably priced LM digital adapters make connecting DSLR, system, C-mount or high-resolution video cameras (4k/6k) to the Zeiss Primo Vert as easy as pie. 

Conventional DSLR, system and video cameras (HD/4k/6k) are optimally suited for professional photographic documentation on the Zeiss Primo Vert. Their advantages are described below.

The photo tube version of the Zeiss Primo Vert microscope comes with the Zeiss Interface P95.

Almost all conventional cameras can be attached to that tube with our LM digital adapters.

If the microscope does not have a photo tube, it is always possible to mount a camera to the eyepiece tube. The optical quality of the images is just as good as with the photo tube solution. In microscopy, image quality depends very much on the microscope lenses used. We therefore recommend using high-quality lenses.

Fitting the microscope to digital single-lens reflex (DSLR), mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC ), digital single-lens mirrorless (DSLM) or C-mount cameras is easy with our LM digital SLR adapters, which feature a plan achromatic optical system. Our products make it possible to capture top-quality microscope images. To help you select the adapter that is right for your camera, we have set up an online configurator on our website. You can also email us – ideally with attached photographs of your microscope.

Modern DSLR and single-lens mirrorless (DSLM) offer the latest technology and are generally very well suited for microscopy applications. Most of them can be controlled remotely via PC/Mac. Because of their high sales volumes, they offer an excellent price/performance ratio compared to special-purpose microscope cameras.

Features of top DSLR and single-lens mirrorless cameras (DSLM):
- Large, powerful full-frame sensors (36 x 24 mm)
- Sensor resolution of 61 megapixels or 240 megapixels with Pixel Shift technology
- High light sensitivity (ISO 400,000+)
- Extensive dynamic range (up to 15 aperture stops/f-stops)
- Short exposure times (1/8000 second) up to 1/32,000 seconds using the digital shutter
- 4K Ultra HD  or 8K Ultra HD video function
- Live video capture on external monitors in ultra HD quality

In most cases, these cameras are significantly more powerful than microscope cameras with smaller sensors (1/2" or 2/3"). On our website you will find our current camera recommendations and a camera ranking which is specifically tailored to microscopy applications.
