SZN 1X C-Mount Stereo Microscope Adapter
The SZN 1X C-Mount Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope with a 23.2mm tube diameter.
Product Overview
The SZN 1X C-Mount Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope with a 23.2mm tube diameter. It maintains a 1X magnification ratio so the camera sees the same field as the eyepieces. The adapter fits directly onto the microscope's trinocular head, allowing the camera to capture the same image seen through the eyepieces without altering the optical path.
- Magnification ratio1X
- Connection typeBayonet lock
- Optical elementsNone
- MaterialAluminium alloy
Key Benefits
- 1X magnification ratio ensures the camera image matches the eyepiece view exactly
- 23.2mm tube diameter fits standard stereo microscope trinocular heads
- No optical shift or focus change when attaching the camera
- Direct C-mount connection allows use with any C-mount camera
- Secure bayonet-style lock holds the camera in place during operation
Application Scenarios
- Attaching a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope for documentation of SMD rework or PCB inspection
- Capturing live images from a trinocular stereo microscope during a teaching demonstration
- Integrating a digital inspection system into a quality control bench without changing the microscope's optical setup
- Using a C-mount camera for automated inspection with a machine vision system
- Connecting a high-resolution camera to a stereo microscope for detailed image capture in jewellery or watchmaking
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
- Teaching laboratories requiring image capture for student demonstrations
- Quality control departments needing to document inspection results
- Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
- Research labs using stereo microscopes with digital imaging
Problems It Solves
- A mismatched adapter changes the optical path, causing focus shift or image distortion when attaching a camera
- A loose connection between the camera and microscope causes misalignment during inspection
- A non-1X adapter alters the magnification between the eyepieces and camera, making documentation inconsistent
- A standard C-mount adapter does not fit the 23.2mm tube diameter of many stereo microscopes
- Lack of a secure mounting method leads to camera drift during long inspection sessions
Technical Features
- 1X magnification ratio maintains image scale between eyepieces and camera
- 23.2mm tube diameter fits standard stereo microscope trinocular heads
- C-mount thread (1 inch x 32 TPI) for direct connection to C-mount cameras
- Bayonet-style locking mechanism secures the camera in place
- No optical elements; purely mechanical adapter with no image distortion
- Designed for use with trinocular stereo microscopes only

Customization Options
- Available in standard 23.2mm tube size only
- No options for different magnification ratios or tube diameters
- No custom threading or surface treatment available
Comparison With Other Options
| Standard C-mount adapter with 25.4mm tube | The SZN 1X adapter is designed for 23.2mm tube diameter; a 25.4mm adapter will not fit and may damage the microscope or camera |
|---|---|
| 1.5X C-mount adapter | A 1.5X adapter increases magnification, altering the field of view; the SZN 1X maintains exact image scale with the eyepieces |
| C-mount adapter with rubber grip | The SZN 1X uses a bayonet lock for secure, repeatable alignment; rubber grips can slip under vibration or repeated use |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope's trinocular head has a 23.2mm tube diameter before installing
- Align the C-mount camera with the adapter and twist until the bayonet lock clicks into place
- Do not force the camera into the adapter; the lock should engage smoothly
- Check the image alignment after mounting; if the image is shifted, reseat the camera and adapter
- Use only C-mount cameras with 1" x 32 TPI threads; other thread types will not fit

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tube diameter this adapter fits?
23.2mm. It is designed for stereo microscopes with a 23.2mm trinocular tube.
Does this adapter change the magnification?
No. It is a 1X adapter, so the camera sees the same field as the eyepieces.
Can I use this with a 25.4mm tube microscope?
No. The adapter is designed for 23.2mm tube diameter only. A 25.4mm adapter will not fit.
Is the camera power supplied through the adapter?
No. The adapter is purely mechanical. The camera must be powered separately.
What type of camera can I use with this adapter?
Any C-mount camera with a 1" x 32 TPI thread. Ensure the camera's sensor size matches the microscope's field.
Does this adapter include a locking mechanism?
Yes. It uses a bayonet-style lock to secure the camera in place during operation.
