FMA 23.2mm Eyepiece to Fixed Microscope Eyepiece Adapter

The FMA series adapters convert a 23.2mm diameter eyepiece tube to a C-mount interface, enabling direct attachment of a microscope camera to a fixed eyepiece.

Product Overview

The FMA series adapters convert a 23.2mm diameter eyepiece tube to a C-mount interface, enabling direct attachment of a microscope camera to a fixed eyepiece. Available in four models with magnifications from 0.37X to 1.00X, each matches a specific sensor size range. The adapter ensures the camera captures the full field of view without vignetting when the sensor is smaller than the available field.

  • Eyepiece tube diameter23.2mm
  • Output interfaceC-mount
  • Magnification0.37X, 0.50X, 0.75X, 1.00X
  • Field size18mm
  • Sensor size compatibility1/4"~1/3", 1/2"~2/3", 1/1.8"~1", 1"
  • Model codesFMA037, FMA050, FMA075, FMA100

Key Benefits

  • Converts a 23.2mm eyepiece tube to C-mount for direct camera mounting
  • Available in four models to match sensor sizes from 1/4" to 1"
  • 0.37X to 1.00X magnification options adjust image scale to match sensor size
  • Preserves the 18mm field of view when the sensor is smaller than the available field
  • Eliminates need for a separate C-mount adapter or optical extension tube

Application Scenarios

  • Attaching a digital camera to a fixed eyepiece on a biological or stereo microscope for inspection documentation
  • Integrating a microscope camera into a legacy instrument with a 23.2mm eyepiece tube
  • Matching a camera sensor size to the available field without image cropping or vignetting
  • Upgrading a benchtop microscope with a fixed eyepiece to digital imaging capability
  • Using a camera with a 1/2" to 2/3" sensor on a microscope with a 23.2mm eyepiece tube

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing PCB and SMD inspection with fixed eyepiece microscopes
  • Laboratories upgrading analog microscopes to digital imaging without replacing the body
  • Teaching labs adding camera output to fixed eyepiece instruments for group viewing
  • Quality control teams needing consistent image capture from fixed-eyepiece microscopes
  • Research labs integrating cameras into older microscope models with 23.2mm eyepiece tubes

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed eyepiece microscope cannot accept a camera without a proper adapter
  • Mismatched sensor size causes vignetting or field cropping when attaching a camera
  • Using a generic adapter may introduce optical distortion or incorrect magnification
  • Lack of C-mount interface prevents direct camera attachment to a 23.2mm eyepiece tube
  • No clear guidance on which adapter matches the sensor size and field of view

Technical Features

  • 23.2mm diameter eyepiece tube interface for compatibility with standard microscope eyepieces
  • C-mount output for direct connection to microscope cameras
  • Magnification options: 0.37X, 0.50X, 0.75X, 1.00X to match sensor size
  • Designed for 18mm field of view, ensuring full coverage when sensor is smaller
  • No optical correction or lens elements; purely a mechanical adapter

Customization Options

  • Select the correct model based on the camera sensor size and desired magnification
  • Choose FMA037 for 1/4"~1/3" sensors, FMA050 for 1/2"~2/3", FMA075 for 1/1.8"~1", FMA100 for 1" sensors
  • Contact support to confirm compatibility if sensor size or field is unclear
  • No custom magnification or size options beyond the four listed models

Comparison With Other Options

C-mount to 23.2mm eyepiece adapterThis adapter works in reverse: it connects a 23.2mm eyepiece to a C-mount camera, while the reverse is used when attaching a camera to a standard eyepiece tube.
C-mount extension tubeAn extension tube adds distance but does not change interface; this adapter changes the interface from eyepiece to C-mount without altering optical path length.
Generic 23.2mm to C-mount adapterThis model is designed with specific magnification and field matching; generic adapters may not preserve field coverage or introduce optical error.

Use Guide

  • Identify the sensor size of your camera before selecting the adapter model
  • Ensure the sensor is smaller than the available 18mm field to avoid vignetting
  • Attach the adapter to the 23.2mm eyepiece tube using the screw mechanism
  • Connect the camera to the C-mount output; no additional power or signal cables are needed
  • Verify image coverage on screen; if the image is cropped, the sensor is larger than the available field
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Which adapter do I need for a 1/2" sensor?

Use FMA050, which is designed for 1/2"~2/3" sensor sizes.

Can I use this adapter with a 1" sensor?

Yes, use FMA100, which supports 1" sensor size.

What happens if my sensor is larger than 18mm?

The image will be cropped or vignette; the adapter is only suitable when the sensor is smaller than the available 18mm field.

Does the adapter affect magnification?

Yes. The adapter adds magnification: 0.37X, 0.50X, 0.75X, or 1.00X depending on the model.

Is there optical correction in the adapter?

No. The adapter is purely mechanical with no lens elements or optical correction.

Can I use this with a digital microscope?

Only if the digital microscope has a 23.2mm eyepiece tube and a fixed eyepiece that can be accessed for adapter attachment.
