If you want this strictly for personal use, you may want to check Intel's website, they have had a digital microscope on sale several months ago. Basically it has no optical eyepiece, you view a 640x480 image over a computer hooked to the microscope. They originally marketed the thing to kids, but I had a lot of enjoyment out of it. Not professional quality by any means.

It was on closeout sale for $30 when I got mine. Well worth it if they still have them. You do need a fairly quick computer (with decent RAM) to use it, or it will be jerky, however.

The Nikon D100 has mirror lockup if you use the AC adaptor. I plan to use one on a telescope for planetary imaging. That would be similar to microscope use because you are using it at the prime focus of the instrument without a lens on the camera. There is a thread in the Nikon forum about using a D100 on a telescope.

Hi Ross,

It depends a bit on what you final objective is. There are microscope attachments for 35mm cameras which will work, obviously, with any of the removable lens digital SLR's (Canon EOS-D30, D60, 1D, Nikon D1, D1H, D1X, D100, Fuji S1, S2, Kodak DCS-760, etc.) but the best of the consumer cameras to shoot through the eyepiece of any light microscope are the Nikon CP series such as the CP950, 990, 995, 4500. Because of their tiny objective lens, they work very well with microscopes, telescopes, etc. There are a number of adapters available - here's a link to the Eagle Eye website in the U.K. where they make one of the nicer adapters... They sell worldwide...

The Nikon Coolpix 4500 does not have a lens that extends from the camera body, and it therefore a good choice of camera. There is an adapter from that costs about US$90 that will connect the camera to almost any microscope ocular. I am a physician and use this setup in my office. It is terrific and that is the reason I bought the CP4500.
