XSZ6745 1X C-mount Stereo Microscope Adapter

The XSZ6745 is a 1X C-mount adapter designed to connect a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope with a 23mm diameter tube.

Product Overview

The XSZ6745 is a 1X C-mount adapter designed to connect a C-mount camera to a stereo microscope with a 23mm diameter tube. It allows the camera to be mounted directly on the microscope's observation tube, enabling digital imaging without requiring a separate camera holder or C-mount lens. The adapter fits standard stereo microscope bodies and supports cameras with a C-mount thread, making it suitable for inspection, documentation and quality control workflows.

  • Adapter typeC-mount
  • Magnification1X
  • Locking mechanismAdjustable locking ring
  • MaterialAluminium alloy
  • Surface finishAnodized black

Key Benefits

  • Direct C-mount connection to the microscope tube eliminates the need for a separate camera holder
  • 1X magnification maintains the original optical magnification from the microscope
  • 23mm tube diameter compatibility with standard stereo microscope bodies
  • Secure mechanical fit with a locking ring to prevent camera shift during use
  • Enables digital imaging on stereo microscopes that lack a built-in camera or trinocular port

Application Scenarios

  • Mounting a C-mount camera on a stereo microscope for real-time inspection and image capture
  • Documenting solder joints, PCB traces or small components with a digital image for quality records
  • Using a C-mount camera with a stereo microscope in a teaching lab for live demonstration
  • Integrating a digital inspection chain into a benchtop stereo microscope without modifying the optical path
  • Connecting a USB3.0 or HDMI C-mount camera to a stereo microscope for high-speed or high-resolution imaging

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing PCB and SMD inspection with stereo microscopes
  • Teaching laboratories requiring image capture for student demonstrations
  • Quality control teams needing to document defects with a digital image
  • Precision assembly workshops using stereo microscopes for watchmaking or jewellery work
  • Research labs using stereo microscopes for sample observation and digital archiving

Problems It Solves

  • A stereo microscope without a trinocular port cannot support a digital camera without an external adapter
  • Separate camera holders often misalign the camera axis, causing image distortion or focus issues
  • Using a C-mount lens with a microscope tube requires a compatible adapter to avoid mechanical or optical mismatch
  • Without a secure adapter, the camera can shift during use, leading to inconsistent image alignment
  • A non-1X adapter changes the magnification, requiring recalibration of the imaging system

Technical Features

  • Designed for stereo microscopes with a 23mm diameter observation tube
  • 1X magnification to preserve the original optical magnification
  • C-mount thread (1 inch x 32 TPI) for direct attachment to C-mount cameras
  • Locking ring to secure the camera in place and prevent rotation or movement
  • Male thread on the adapter body to accept a C-mount camera
  • Female thread on the adapter base to fit over the microscope tube
  • Compact design with minimal interference in the optical path

Customization Options

  • Available in standard 1X configuration
  • Can be supplied with or without the locking ring based on customer requirement
  • Alternative thread types (e.g. M25x0.75) available upon request with a custom quote

Comparison With Other Options

C-mount adapter with 0.5X magnificationThe 0.5X adapter reduces image size and increases field of view; the 1X adapter preserves the original magnification for accurate imaging.
Universal C-mount adapter with adjustable tube clampThe adjustable clamp may introduce play or misalignment; the XSZ6745 uses a fixed 23mm fit for consistent alignment.
C-mount adapter for 30mm tube microscopesThe XSZ6745 is designed for 23mm tubes; a 30mm adapter would not fit and could damage the microscope tube.

Use Guide

  • Verify the microscope tube diameter is 23mm before mounting the adapter
  • Align the C-mount camera with the adapter and tighten the locking ring securely
  • Do not over-tighten the locking ring to avoid damaging the anodized surface
  • Check for image alignment and focus after mounting the camera
  • Use only C-mount cameras with a 1" x 32 TPI thread for proper fit
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What microscope tube diameter does this adapter fit?

The XSZ6745 is designed for stereo microscopes with a 23mm diameter observation tube.

Does this adapter change the magnification?

No. It is a 1X adapter, so it preserves the original magnification from the microscope.

Can I use this with a USB3.0 C-mount camera?

Yes. The C-mount thread is compatible with any camera that uses a 1" x 32 TPI thread, including USB3.0 and HDMI models.

Is the locking ring included?

Yes. The adapter comes with a locking ring to secure the camera in place.

Can I use this adapter on a microscope with a 30mm tube?

No. The XSZ6745 is designed for 23mm tubes only. A different adapter is required for 30mm tubes.

What material is the adapter made from?

The adapter is made from aluminium alloy with an anodized black finish.
