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 magnification | The 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 clamp | The adjustable clamp may introduce play or misalignment; the XSZ6745 uses a fixed 23mm fit for consistent alignment. |
| C-mount adapter for 30mm tube microscopes | The 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

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.
