SZN Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter
The SZN Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a digital camera to a stereo microscope with a 23mm diameter tube.

Product Overview
The SZN Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a digital camera to a stereo microscope with a 23mm diameter tube. It fits standard 23mm tube optics and allows the camera to be mounted directly on the microscope head. The adapter provides a secure, stable interface for image capture without altering the optical path.
- Optical pathNon-invasive, no beam splitting or optical modification
- MaterialAluminium alloy
- Mounting surfaceFlat, rigid, no tilt
Key Benefits
- Mounts a digital camera directly on a stereo microscope with a 23mm tube
- Preserves the original optical path and focus point
- Provides a stable, rigid connection for consistent image alignment
- Enables real-time imaging and documentation without additional lighting or alignment
- Supports camera integration with USB, HDMI, or WiFi imaging chains
Application Scenarios
- Attaching a digital camera to a stereo microscope for live inspection and image capture
- Documenting solder joints, component placement or assembly steps in electronics rework
- Capturing consistent images for quality reports or customer submissions
- Using a camera with a stereo microscope in a teaching lab for group viewing
- Integrating a microscope with a digital imaging system for automated inspection
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
- Teaching laboratories in schools and universities
- Quality control departments requiring image documentation
- Precision assembly workshops in watchmaking, jewellery and micro-mechanics
- Research labs using stereo microscopes for sample observation
Problems It Solves
- A stereo microscope without a camera requires a separate imaging setup, increasing alignment complexity
- Improper adapters can shift the optical axis, causing focus drift or image misalignment
- Lack of a secure mount leads to camera movement during inspection or documentation
- Incompatible tube diameters prevent direct camera attachment, forcing the use of C-mount adapters
- Manual camera positioning under the microscope head causes inconsistent image framing
Technical Features
- Designed for stereo microscopes with a 23mm diameter optical tube
- Male thread on the camera side for standard 23mm lens mount
- Female thread on the microscope side to accept 23mm tube optics
- Precision machined to maintain optical alignment and focus stability
- Flat mounting surface ensures no tilt or shift when the camera is attached

Comparison With Other Options
| C-mount adapter with 23mm tube | The SZN adapter is designed specifically for 23mm tube microscopes and maintains optical alignment; C-mount adapters often require additional spacers and can shift focus. |
|---|---|
| Universal microscope adapter with rubber grip | The SZN adapter provides a rigid, fixed mount; rubber grips allow movement and can cause image drift during use. |
| No adapter (direct camera mount) | Without an adapter, the camera cannot be securely mounted on a 23mm tube; the SZN adapter enables stable, repeatable setup. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope tube is clean and free of debris before mounting
- Align the adapter with the tube and screw it in gently until snug
- Do not over-tighten; the adapter should not distort the tube or affect focus
- Attach the camera to the male thread side and secure it with the camera's mounting screw
- Check focus and image alignment after mounting; adjust if needed

Frequently Asked Questions
What microscope tube size does this adapter fit?
It fits stereo microscopes with a 23mm diameter optical tube.
Does this adapter affect the optical path?
No. It is a non-invasive adapter that does not split or alter the light path.
Can I use this with a trinocular microscope?
Yes. It can be used on the third port of a trinocular head, provided the tube diameter is 23mm.
Is the adapter compatible with all digital cameras?
It is compatible with cameras that have a 23mm male thread mount. Confirm the camera's mounting interface before ordering.
What material is used in the adapter?
The adapter is made from aluminium alloy with an anodized finish.
Can I get a different thread size?
Yes. Custom thread sizes are available on request. Contact us for a quote.
