XSZ6745 Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter
The XSZ6745 Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a digital camera to a stereo microscope with a 23mm phototube.
Product Overview
The XSZ6745 Phototube Stereo Microscope Adapter connects a digital camera to a stereo microscope with a 23mm phototube. It enables direct imaging from the microscope's optical path without requiring a C-mount or additional adapters. The adapter fits standard 23mm phototubes and allows the camera to capture the full field of view with minimal vignetting.
- Adapter typePhototube to camera interface
- Optical pathDirect, no lenses or prisms
- VignettingMinimal when paired with compatible camera
- MountingScrew-on, secure fit
- MaterialAluminium alloy
Key Benefits
- Direct connection to a 23mm phototube eliminates the need for a C-mount adapter
- Maintains full field of view with minimal vignetting when paired with a compatible camera
- Allows digital imaging without modifying the microscope's optical path
- Enables image capture and documentation using a single instrument
- Reduces setup time and alignment issues during inspection tasks
Application Scenarios
- Connecting a digital camera to a stereo microscope for PCB inspection and documentation
- Capturing high-resolution images of small components during SMD rework
- Using a camera with a stereo microscope for teaching or training in electronics labs
- Integrating a camera into a microscope setup for quality control and audit trails
- Enabling live video capture during precision assembly or repair tasks
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers doing PCB, SMD and BGA rework and inspection
- Universities, schools and teaching laboratories
- Clinical, veterinary and research laboratories
- Metallurgy, foundry and heat-treatment quality labs
- Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
Problems It Solves
- A microscope without a phototube connection forces the operator to use a separate camera and adapter that may not match the optical path
- C-mount adapters often introduce alignment errors, vignetting or image distortion
- Separate camera and microscope setups increase setup time and reduce repeatability
- Lack of a standard interface makes it difficult to switch cameras between microscopes
- Inconsistent image quality when using mismatched components between microscope and camera
Technical Features
- Designed for stereo microscopes with a 23mm phototube
- Provides a direct interface between the phototube and a digital camera
- Minimizes vignetting and preserves full field of view
- Compatible with cameras that have a standard 23mm diameter lens mount
- No optical elements; purely mechanical connection

Comparison With Other Options
| C-mount adapter with 23mm phototube | The XSZ6745 is a direct mechanical adapter with no optical elements; it avoids the alignment and vignetting issues common in C-mount systems |
|---|---|
| Camera with built-in lens for microscope use | The XSZ6745 allows the use of a standard camera with a fixed lens, reducing cost and complexity compared to a microscope-specific camera |
| No adapter - direct camera attachment to phototube | The XSZ6745 ensures a secure, repeatable connection; direct attachment without an adapter risks misalignment and damage to the phototube |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope has a 23mm phototube before installing the adapter
- Align the camera lens with the phototube axis before tightening the adapter
- Use a locking ring if provided to prevent camera movement during use
- Check for vignetting by capturing a test image at full field of view
- Clean the phototube and adapter threads before assembly to avoid debris in the optical path

Frequently Asked Questions
What microscope phototube size does this adapter fit?
The XSZ6745 fits microscopes with a 23mm phototube.
Does this adapter include a camera?
No. It is a mechanical adapter only. The camera must be purchased separately.
Can I use this adapter with a camera that has a different lens diameter?
Only if the camera has a 23mm diameter lens mount. The adapter is designed for 23mm compatibility.
Is there any optical magnification or image correction in this adapter?
No. The adapter is purely mechanical with no optical elements.
Can I use this adapter with a digital microscope?
Only if the digital microscope has a 23mm phototube output. It is not designed for direct camera attachment on digital microscopes without a phototube.
Is the adapter reusable between different microscopes?
Yes, as long as the other microscope also has a 23mm phototube.
