Re: 3D printed mods to standard microscopes to record live cell movies

Better to use an adapter and a real camera.  You don't need dedicated $5000 microscope CCD cameras unless you are doing something in a wavelength requiring black and white CCD images like some UV work.  You can, with a relay adapter, put a m4/3rds camera on a microscope and take all the movies you like, HD, 4K, whatever the optical system will support.
